I always like to keep Prawns in the freezer.
Quick thaw and you have a meal that is quick and easy and luxurious.
This dish is in 3 easy stages
For 2 people
So for the Prawns
First grab however many prawns you would like
I like plenty!
Thaw them
2-3 Tablespoons Olive oil
Zest of 1 lime
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
The Vege
1 medium red onion finely chopped
3 medium tomatoes, roughly chopped
2-3 tablespoons vinaigrette
1-2 chilies finely chopped
S & P
The Pasta
100 gms per person of penne or fusilli
whichever you have in the pantry
Juice of the lime
Handful Chopped Coriander
Save a few leaves for garnish
When the prawns are thawed
Marinate them in the Olive oil S & P and lime zest
In a gratin dish
Season the onions, tomatoes, chili and pour over the vinaigrette
Set aside
Let the prawns and the tomatoes and onion marinate for about 30 minutes
When you are ready
Heat the oven to 210C
Bring a pot of salted water to the boil
Add the pasta and cook for about 8 mins
Drain
Meanwhile pop the prawns in the pre heated oven
Cook for 6 minutes
Remove from oven and set aside
While the prawns and the pasta are cooking
Place the Tomatoes and onions into a saute pan
Just gently warm them through
Now your 3 stages are ready
Assembly
Easy
Add prawns juice and all to the tomato mix
Add lime juice and chopped coriander
Taste and check for seasoning and adjust if necessary
Add Pasta
Toss well
Serve and garnish with some extra coriander leaves
and Voila
