Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti according to the packet instructions.
- When it's cooked, reserve two tablespoons of water, then drain the rest, but don't rinse the pasta.
- Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat, add the prawns, season them with salt and pepper, and add the chopped garlic.
- Cook the prawns on both sides until they turn pink.
- Remove the prawns from the pan, add the two tablespoons of water and the cream, and bring to a boil.
- Add the pasta to the pan, together with the parmesan, cooked prawns, and season with salt and pepper.
- Toss well to combine all the ingredients.
- Garnish with freshly-chopped parsley.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- You can season the shrimp before adding it to the pan, some garlic granules or a bit of chilli are a nice choice, but otherwise, just salt and pepper will do.
- I don't usually cook with wine, but if you do, you can add a splash of white whine to the pan before adding the cream, although the dish is absolutely beautiful without it too.
- The parmesan gives a nice flavour, and cuts the richness of the cream and butter, so you use it. If you don't have parmesan, choose any other strong-flavoured hard cheese, for that extra sharpness.
