Method

  • step 1

    Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling, salted water according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, heat a small knob of the butter in a frying pan. When it starts to sizzle, add the prawns and fry for 1 min until they start to change colour. Add the garlic and sizzle for 1 min more, splash in the wine, then bring to the boil. Swirl in the rest of the butter, season with salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice, then stir in the chopped parsley.

  • step 2

    When the pasta is just cooked, drain and toss through the prawns. Divide the pasta between 2 bowls, pour over any excess sauce and serve straightaway.

What could I use instead of wine?

Added chilli and used tarragon instead of parsley

Wonderful dish. Added a chilli like others said. Put a bit too much wine in and it didn’t reduce enough but the sauce was excellent despite that. Used raw Argentinian shrimp which were very tasty.

Add a gin (3 shots) and tonic, definitely tasted better after I finished them.
