Recipe: Pasta with Prawns and Tomatoes
I used a bag of shelled, raw frozen prawns (1 lb) that worked well. Saute prawns (thawed or fresh) in a bit of olive oil over high heat until opaque; remove to plate. This only takes a couple of minutes.
Add a bit more olive oil (your call) and 4 minced or sliced garlic cloves and a generous tsp of red pepper flakes. Add to pan 6-8 sliced roma tomatoes. Simmer over medium heat for 5-10 minutes, until tomatoes are broken up and saucy. I added a half glass of chardonnay here as well because wine does nothing but enhance a dish.
Remove from heat. Return shrimp to saucepan and toss to coat. Add 2 tbsp of chopped parsley and 2 tbsp of fresh lemon juice.
Serve over pasta (we used penne rigate) with a big glass of cold pinot gris (if you didn't drink it all while cooking this dish). This sauce would also be worth trying with scallops. Oh yes.
Enjoy! Cheers.

Nan told me she wants to taste this next time she is in Victoria!
I wonder if its good with chicken? My boy doesn't like seafood. (or maybe I could just TELL him its chicken?) sounds delicious!
