Lemon, Prawn & Parsley Spaghetti
We try to keep a bag of frozen raw prawns in the freezer as they always feel like a special treat. This is good if you fancy a special treat on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday…
Wine Suggestion: to match this dish you can’t go wrong with a good Albariño (Spain) / Alvarinho (Portugal). What you need to look for is a bit of body as some are just a bit thin; the best have a real depth of flavour along with vibrant freshness. Perfect for the prawns and lemon.
Lemon & Parsley Spaghetti with Prawns – serves 2
- 175g spaghetti
- 2tbsp olive oil
- 140g large raw peeled prawns, thawed if frozen
- zest & juice 1 lemon, plus wedges to serve
- bunch flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
Cook the pasta.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the prawns and fry quickly until pink all over.
Add the lemon zest and juice, parsley, 2 tbsp of the pasta cooking water and salt and pepper, then heat through.
Drain the spaghetti, add to the pan, then toss it all together.
Serve with lemon wedges.
