King Prawns In Red Sauce Food

PRAWN LINGUINE - AUTHENTIC ITALIAN RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the garlic followed by the tomatoes and a sprig of parsley, and stir-fry for a few minutes, stirring often.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, then cook the pasta al dente, about 8 minutes for linguine.
• Add the red chili flakes (if using ) into the skillet, followed by the cleaned king prawns. I like to add whole king prawns first, then a handful of chopped ones, to give more texture to the sauce. Stir fry them for a couple of minutes, until they're pink and cooked through. Pour in a splash of white wine at this point if you like. Remove the parsley and garlic from the pan and discard them, then sprinkle the lemon zest all over the prepared sauce.
• Drain the pasta, reserving a cup of pasta water. Add the pasta into the skillet, and sauté all the ingredients for a minute. If your sauce it's too dry, pour in a little of the reserved pasta water.
• Stir to combine all the ingredients, then turn the heat off. Sprinkle some chopped parsley all over the linguine, season generously with freshly cracked black pepper and serve immediately.
