Ingredients:

  • 250 grams of your favorite pasta
  • 250 grams large prawns, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)

Instructions:

  1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Season the prawns with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  3. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the prawns and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the prawns from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring it to a simmer. Allow it to reduce by half, which will take about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and continue to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat it in the creamy garlic sauce.
  8. Return the cooked prawns to the skillet and heat them through for a minute or two.
  9. Season the pasta with additional salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if you like it spicy). Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
  10. Serve the Garlic Butter Prawn Pasta hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.
