Lemon, chilli and garlic prawns with angel hair pasta
( SERVES 4 )
Publication: NZ Woman's Weekly
This is one of my favourite ways to eat prawns, as you can have dinner served in less than 15 minutes.
Ingredients
| 400 g | Angel hair pasta, adjust cooking time if using other pasta varieties |
| ¼ cup | Olive oil |
| 3 cloves | Garlic, finely sliced |
| 8 slices | Lemons |
| 1 | Red chilli, deseeded and sliced finely |
| 500 g | Raw prawns, shelled meat, thowed |
| 1 bunch | Fresh dill, chopped |
Directions
- Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water for approximately 2 minutes or until al dente.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the garlic, lemon slices and chilli, and cook for 1-2 minutes over a gentle heat just to infuse the flavours.
- Increase the heat, add the prawns, and cook a further 3-5 minutes until the meat turns pink. Add dill and season well.
- Drain the pasta and toss with the prawns.
Chef's tip
Add as much or little chilli as you like and stir through a few handfuls of baby spinach leaves to boost your iron intake. Angel hair pasta is like a super-fine spaghetti.

Added chopped basic and chives instead of dill and added some chopped sundried tomatos after all tossed together. We felt it was nicer with a drizzle of oil to give a bit more moisture. Easily halved the recipe for two people and now have added to our list of regular dishes.
