Ingredients

½ x 500g pack fresh Essential Linguine
250g pack frozen Essential Raw King Prawns, defrosted
1 tsp fennel seeds, to taste
1 tbsp Essential Olive Oil
2 clove/s garlic, finely chopped
1 red chilli, finely chopped
1 Essential Lime, finely grated zest, plus juice of 1/2 and ½ in wedges
½ x 25g pack chopped flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
Essential Sweet Salad, to serve

Method

Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil, ready to cook the linguine. Pat the prawns dry between several sheets of kitchen paper, then transfer to a food processor. Blend briefly until chopped into small pieces.
Lightly toast the fennel seeds in a dry frying pan, then turn out onto a plate. Add 1 tsp oil to the pan and fry the prawns for 1-2 minutes, stirring until pink and opaque and cooked through. Stir in the garlic, chilli, lime zest, fennel seeds and ½ the parsley. Season and remove from the heat.
Cook the linguine for 3 minutes, until just tender. Drain well and tip into the frying pan. Reheat briefly, turning the ingredients to combine. Transfer to plates, scatter with the remaining parsley and drizzle with the lime juice and remaining oil. Serve with the sweet salad and lime wedges.

Cook’s tip

Our Essential citrus fruit comes ‘waxed’ – this edible coating is used to help the fruit maintain its freshness for longer. When zesting, scrub it under warm running water, then dry thoroughly, before use. We also sell unwaxed fruits.
