Spice up your night with an authentic Italian lemon prawn spaghetti!
Ingredients:
  • Rocket leaves, extra, to serve
  • 60ml olive oil
  • 2 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 70g breadcrumbs
  • 2 lemons, zested, juiced
  • 300g spaghetti
  • 700g green prawns, peeled, leaving tails intact, deveined
  • 1 long red chilli, seeded, thinly sliced
  • 60g rocket leaves
  • 250.00 ml flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • Lemons, extra, halved, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a frying pan over medium-low heat, warm 1 tablespoon of oil. Add anchovy and half of the garlic, breaking up the anchovy as you stir for 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add breadcrumbs and cook for about 5 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy. Take the pan off the heat and mix in half of the lemon zest gently.
  • Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain.
  • In a large frying pan, heat half of the oil over medium heat. Add half of the prawns and cook for 3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they curl and change color. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat with the remaining prawns. Return all the prawns to the pan, add the chilli and remaining garlic, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Finally, add the remaining oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, rocket, parsley, and spaghetti to the pan. Toss everything together for 1 minute until heated through and well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the mixture into individual serving bowls. Top with breadcrumbs. Garnish with extra rocket leaves and lemon on the side.
