Equipment
- Large pot
- Frying pan
- Chef's knife.
- Cutting Board
- Citrus Grater
- Tongs
- Colander
Ingredients
- 200 g Prawns
- 250 g Angel Hair Pasta
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 Red Chili
- 1 tsp Dried Oregano
- 1 Lime
- 1 bunch Fresh Parsley
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
1. Boil the Pasta
- Fill a large pot with water. Add a big pinch of salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil. Drop in your pasta. Cook it until it is almost soft. This is called al dente.
2. Prep the Aromatics
- Peel your garlic cloves. Slice them into very thin pieces. Deseed the red chili first. Then, chop the chili very finely. This ensures even heat in every bite.
3. Sear the Prawns
- Place a frying pan over medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil. Put the prawns in the hot pan. Season them with salt and pepper. Cook them until they turn pink.
4. Add Flavor Base
- Push prawns to the side of the pan. Add more oil if needed. Throw in the garlic and chili. Add the dried oregano now. Let them sizzle for one minute.
5. Combine and Toss
- Drain the pasta but keep some water. Add pasta to the prawn pan. Pour in a little pasta water. This creates a light, silky sauce.
6. Final Seasoning
- Grate lime zest over the top. Squeeze in the fresh lime juice. Add the chopped parsley. Toss everything together one last time. Serve it while it is hot.
Notes
➡️ Use fresh prawns for the best juicy texture.
➡️ Do not overcook the pasta in the pot.
➡️ Save some pasta water to make a sauce.
➡️ Slice the garlic thin so it melts away.
➡️ Add the lime at the very last second.
➡️ Use a hot pan to sear the prawns fast.
➡️ Taste the dish before you serve it to guests.
➡️ High quality olive oil makes a huge difference.
