Spaghetti with Caribbean prawns, tomato & chilli

Spaghetti with Caribbean prawns, tomato & chilli

"This is a really quick dish and I love pasta with shellfish. This makes a fantastic dish to share and goes well with a nice cold bottle of Pinot Grigio," says Mitch Tonks, restaurateur and seafood expert, who devised this recipe
 
Serves:
2

What you need:

  • 200g Young's Caribbean Prawns
  • 150g Dried spaghetti

  • Small handful chopped basil
  • 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
  • 1 mild chilli (seeds removed and finely chopped)

  • Salt and pepper to season

What you do:

  1. Add a splash of good olive oil to a frying pan and add the garlic. 
  2. When it starts to turn golden, add the chilli and tomatoes and cook for a minute or two, until the tomatoes start to "melt" adding the prawns.
