Spaghetti with rosemary prawns - Andare!

Slightly demotivated, the whole day drags on and I drink one coffee after the other. Oh yes, I should also eat something. But what? Just nothing exhausting and something that can be done quickly. All right, pasta? Mhm, yaa could go, but not the same as always. Let's bring in some power together.

Ingredients

• 250 g pasta ( of your choice)

• 500 ml tomato sauce

• 4 Tiger Prawns

• ½ lemon

• 100 ml white wine

• 1 sprig of rosemary

• 1 clove garlic

• olive oil

• seasoning

Instructions

The preparation is faster than writing down the recipe :). But that's how it should be. First we start with the pasta.

Put the water on, salt it well and as soon as it boils, add the noodles.

Then we take care of the shrimps. Fresh they would be a dream, of course, but mine from the freezer do it too. We fry them in a little oil, the crushed garlic and rosemary on light heat. It's best to use a large frying pan and please don't heat too quickly, tickle out more of the flavour. At the end I can recommend to deglaze the pan with a shot of white wine and lemon juice. This gives again a fresh taste with a slight sweetness.

Once the shrimp have gained enough color, about 12 minutes, we add our tomato sugo and continue to simmer it with everything in the pan.

Now the pasta should also be almost ready, which we add to the pan with a good amount of pasta water.

Everything continues to simmer for about 3 minutes and then may be garnished.

Resumé

As I said, the dish is quite simple and quick on the plate, has the shrimp as a source of protein and good carbohydrates for the next kick. Of course, like me, you may arrange the pasta in a dish, which is great for sharing.

Enjoy cooking with food for flexitarians!

FAQ

Can I use frozen prawns instead of fresh?

Yes, just thaw them completely and pat them dry before frying, otherwise the excess water will prevent them from getting a nice sear.

What can I use instead of white wine?

Vegetable stock with a splash of lemon juice makes a good non-alcoholic substitute and still adds acidity to balance the tomato sauce.

How do I avoid overcooking the prawns?

Fry them just 1-2 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque, then remove from the heat. Prawns keep cooking a bit even off the stove, so it is better to slightly undercook than overdo them.
