Step 1

Place the spaghetti into a pot of boiling, salted water and cook according to the packet instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside. Follow the other steps while the pasta is cooking.

Step 2

In a large frying pan over high heat, cook the chorizo slices until they are browned and slightly crisp on both sides. While cooking, the chorizo will release some oil. Keep the oil in the pan and place the chorizo on a plate to set aside until later.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and add the olive oil, butter, garlic and chilli (optional) and stir for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Don't overcook the garlic or let it brown.

Step 4

Add the prawns and salt and pepper to the butter and cook the prawns on both sides, until cooked through. This will only take a couple of minutes, be careful not to overcook the prawns.

Step 5

Add the lemon zest, juice and chopped parsley as well as the cooked and drained pasta and chorizo. Stir until all of the ingredients have combined.
