King Prawn Tomato Mascapone Recipes

KING PRAWNS (SHRIMP) IN TOMATO, CREAM & WHITE WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a 12 inch frying pan over medium high heat the oil.
• Add the chilli and garlic and cook for 3 minutes.
• Add king prawns and cook, turning so they cook evenly on each side, until they are only just pinked through.
• Lift out the king prawns and put to one side.
• Add to pan the shallots, tomatoes, black pepper, stock, wine and cream.
• Simmer on a medium to high heat (do not cover) until reduced, around 10 minutes.
• Add the king prawns back in, then the basil and stir until heated through.
• Serve spooned over your favourite type of pasta (fresh pasta is a must), sprinkled with freshly grated parmesan cheese and garlic bread for mopping up the sauce.

PASTA WITH PRAWNS, MASCARPONE & LEMON

Steps:

• Cook the pasta following pack instructions, adding the vegetables 4 mins before the end of the cooking time, and the prawns just as the cooking time is up. Reserve a mug of the water, then drain everything and tip back into the pan.
• Tip in the lemon zest and juice, and the mascarpone, and heat through, adding enough of the pasta water to create a creamy sauce. Scatter in the shredded mint or basil, a good grinding of black pepper and a little salt. Divide between 2 warmed pasta bowls, scatter over the herb leaves and serve with lemon wedges.
