Prawn pasta!

Have you ever heard the phrase, don't go supermarket shopping when you're hungry? Well on the flip side of the coin,  cooking in an empty kitchen turns you into a genius! 

All credit goes to my sister in-law to be for this dish - I simply have kept making it due to it's simple scrumptiousness!


Ingredients

(serves 4)

Spaghetti
1 fresh chilli
1 large handful of coriander or parsley
2 cloves of garlic
1 lemon (juiced)
24 prawns (6 each)
Olive oil
Pepper
Salt
Parmesan

Instructions

Simply cook the pasta with a dash of olive oil and salt, fry the prawns with olive oil and minced garlic cloves, then finely chop the chilli and coriander. 

Pour the pasta into a large bowl toss in olive oil, lemon juice, chilli and coriander, then toss through the prawns and garlic, add pepper and salt to season. I top with parmesan because pasta to me is not complete without it!

Next month, I will start to look at how to cook simple and delicious dairy and gluten free meals, as I start my health journey that involves cutting out most foods that are hard on the body. As Ann Wigmore said, "The food you eat can either be the safest and most powerful medicine or the slowest form of poison."
