A delicious, flavoursome and light pasta dish with prawns, chilli and basil.
What You Need
  • 500g Raw Prawns
  • Pasta
  • 3 Kaffir Lime Leaves (optional)
  • Bunch of Basil (roughly chopped)
  • 1 Large Chilli
  • 1 Small Chilli
  • 1 punnet of Cherry Tomatoes
  • Small bunch of Lemon Thyme
  • 1 Small Red Onion
  • Olive Oil
What You Do
  1. Start the pasta cooking, by the time it’s finished cooking the rest will be ready to toss through.
  2. Finely chop the onion, garlic, chilli then sauté with half the lemon thyme and the kaffir lime leaves on medium heat with enough olive oil to make a layer across the pan (use more than you think - it essentially becomes the sauce).
  3. When the garlic is fragrant in the pan, halve the cherry tomatoes and sauté them.
  4. When the cherry tomatoes start to loose their structure and are easy to squish, turn up the heat and toss through the prawns.
  5. When the prawns turn opaque, turn the heat off and toss through the basil.
  6. Mix the pasta and prawns together and remove the kaffir lime leaves.
  7. Serve with salt and cracked pepper.
