Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Gluten-free pasta
- 1 lb Raw prawns, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gluten-free pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the prawns to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove the prawns from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and chicken or vegetable broth. Stir well to combine and let it come to a gentle simmer.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Return the cooked pasta and prawns to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat the pasta and prawns evenly with the creamy sauce.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the pasta, reserving a bit for garnish.
Serve the creamy prawn pasta hot, garnished with the remaining parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
