How to Make Penne With King Prawns Jumbo Shrimp Cherry Tomatoes And Lemon
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 1 pound of penne pasta and stir. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes, or until al dente.
- While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large deep frying pan over medium heat.
- Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant, being careful not to brown.
- Add 1 pint of cherry tomatoes and cook gently for 10 minutes, minimizing stirring to preserve their shape.
- Pour 1 cup of the reserved pasta water into the pan and bring to a simmer.
- Add 1 pound of jumbo king prawns (peeled and deveined) and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until pink and opaque, stirring gently.
- Drain the cooked pasta, reserving about ½ cup of the pasta water.
- Add the drained pasta to the pan with the prawns and tomatoes. Stir in the zest of 1 lemon and season generously with freshly ground black pepper and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.
- Toss everything together until well combined, adding a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce. Serve immediately on warmed plates with a lemon wedge.
