Garlic Spotted Prawns with Zara’s Pasta

Garlic Spotted Prawns with Zara’s Pasta

The spotted prawns are at the markets and the cold water first catch are usually extra plump and delicious. The deeper and colder the water the tastier the prawns. I love making a simple garlic butter using capers, garlic, and parsley with slat and cracked pepper. After I clean and trap the prawns I give them a quick bath in a sea salt water brine. This sets them up and makes a nice crisp texture when cooking in butter. I add a touch of vermouth to some chopped tomato, garlic and parsley with a few heaping tablespoons of garlic butter. Some fresh al’dente pasta hand crafted by Loris Zara in the flesh. I use some lemon and a shot of vodka giving them a flambé to the table presentation. Some crumbled feta cheese adds uber flavour. Life is good!
