About this episode
Who DOESN'T adore a linguine or spaghetti - with prawns?
It's one of my favourites (Yumi) and it's been a goal of mine this year to figure out the best recipe for making it at home. For myself. Cos - yum.
COMBINING marinated prawns with THIS RECIPE FOR SPAGHETTI ALLA ASSASINA is a bit of a cheat... but if you love chilli...and black pepper...and prawns... This is going to be a winner!
I used 150g of prawn tail meat per serve, and marinated them in a non-reactive bowl with a couple of teaspoons of sambal oelek (from the mainstream supermarket) and a ton of fresh black pepper. You don't want the marinade to be soggy.
PS. I got lazy and one time tried just tossing the prawns in with the spaghetti as it cooked and IT FAILED. Soggy prawns and super gross. You need to fry the prawns seperately!
