Recipe VIDEO above. Pasta tossed with a garlic infused creamy sauce and plump, juicy prawns! (Shrimp) This pasta version of Creamy Garlic Prawns is a quick meal you'll get on the table in 20 minutes, this is luscious but it's not too rich. The key is to emulsify the sauce (i.e. thicken it) by tossing the pasta in the sauce just before serving - this is the proper Italian way to make pasta. Serves 3 very hungry people or 4 normal servings.
