Total Time 15 minutes
Servings :4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 400 grams spaghetti
  • 500 grams prawns
  • 4 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 2 limes cut into wedges
  • 2 tbsps unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Flat leaf Italian parsley

Instructions 

  • Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions and set aside. (Reserve some of your pasta water for later!)
  • Heat olive oil & butter in a non-stick pan and saute the chopped garlic for about 30 seconds.
  • Squeeze the juice from one lime into the garlic and simultaneously toss in the prawns. Let them cook on medium to high heat for about 4 minutes. Don't fiddle. Toss or carefully turn once over to brown the other side.
  • Reduce heat and add in your cooked spaghetti. Gently toss or use a pair of kitchen tongs to lift and mix. If necessary, add in a spoonful or two of the pasta water that you set aside from earlier, to create a sauce for the pasta.
  • Squeeze the rest of the fresh lime and zest over your dish. Serve with cracked black pepper, flat leaf parsley and a drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy!
