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:
- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Season the prawns with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- 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.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- 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.
- Stir in the heavy cream and continue to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat it in the creamy garlic sauce.
- Return the cooked prawns to the skillet and heat them through for a minute or two.
- Season the pasta with additional salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if you like it spicy). Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
- Serve the Garlic Butter Prawn Pasta hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.
