Ingredients
- 20 large raw king prawns, peeled, intestinal tract removed, tails intact
- 5 g dried lemon myrtle
- 5 garlic cloves, grated
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to serve
- sea salt, to taste
- 340 g fresh egg fettuccine
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 large bunch sorrel, leaves picked and coarsely chopped
Standing time: 1 hour
Instructions
- Place the prawns, lemon myrtle, half the garlic and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl, toss to coat well, then cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the pasta and cook according to packet instructions. Drain and return to the pan, reserving some of the cooking water.
- Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Add the prawns, remaining garlic and a large pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally for 2 minutes or until golden brown and just cooked through.
- Add the prawn mixture to the hot pasta with a little of the pasta cooking water to loosen, then toss to combine. Add the sorrel and toss until wilted. Season to taste and serve drizzled with extra olive oil.
