Creamy Garlic Prawn Pasta
The weekend is here and we deserve a treat!!!
Yes its indulgent, but let me assure you, its a whole lot healthier than eating out.
Because lets face it restaurant food isso goodbecause its loaded with butter, oil and salt.
Its made with 200g / 1 3/4 sticks butter for 600g / 1.2 lb of potato.
THATS INSANE!!!!!
I felt my arteries clogging up just reading the recipe!!!
Which I think is actually a very reasonable amount for a cream pasta.
Theres no exception with creamy pastas.
Creamy pastas are so hard to shoot so you canseethe creamy sauce coating the pasta.
But do you see how there is no / little sauce pooled on the plate?
Thats because its all on the pasta and prawns!
(Thatsshrimp, to those of you on the other side of the pond. )
I find it easier to eat rather than jumbo sized prawns.
And because of this, I usually use (gasp, shock horror!)
frozen peeled raw prawns.

Yes, peeling your own fresh prawns is better than using frozen.
But because they are small, it is a pain so using frozen is completely acceptable in my books.
Try this SpicyChilli Prawn Pastawith a tomato based sauce, or thisLemon Prawn Pasta.

Get the water boiling, and youll be slurping this down in 20 minutes.
