Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package instructions and set aside.
- Meanwhile, chop prawns into 2 cm / ⅔" pieces - this means cutting each of my king prawns into thirds.
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and fry bacon.
- When the bacon has some good colour, add the chopped prawns and crushed garlic and continue to fry until the prawns just change colour.
- Immediately add cream and lemon juice and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the cream starts to thicken, then add the chopped avocado and cooked pasta, stirring to coat.
- Add salt and pepper as desired, then serve topped with fresh parmesan.
Notes
- I like to chop the prawns to make them go further - plus I can have some of every ingredient in each mouthful!
- Once you add the raw prawns to the pan, they won't take long to start to change colour. Keep in mind that they will still be in the pan for a while after you have added the cream, so you don't want to cook them completely at this point.
