Notes
- Use the freshest prawns available for the best flavour. If using frozen prawns, thaw them thoroughly and pat them dry before cooking.
- Adjust the amount of chilli to your taste. For extra heat, add diced fresh chillies and leave the seeds in.
- Make sure to cook the pasta al dente, as it will continue to cook slightly when mixed with the sauce.
- For an extra rich sauce, add a splash or red or dry white wine to the sauce.
- You couldn't usually put cheese on a fish pasta dish, however you could grate some parmesan cheese over before serving if you like.
- Add a little splash of the pasta water to the sauce to loosen it up a little and make it silky smooth.
