The One Pot Wonder- Ultimate Prawny Pasta!
When it
comes to cooking, there is an innate sense of laziness I resign to. The one
dish lesser to wash up or the 5 minute sooner the cooking is done or even quarter of an onion lesser I need to chop up, all sounds delightfully thrilling especially when time is of
essence on a weekday cooking drill.
Being the
extremely optimistic (lazy) Chef I have grown to be, I have discovered some super-easy
to cook weekday wonder recipes! This one is an all-time favorite of mine –The (Ultimate)
Prawny Pasta!
With minimal ingredients, you will be elevated to food heaven
with this one. The magic of the recipe is that, it even converted ‘non-prawn
lovers’ to ardent ‘prawn lovers’!
Cooking time
20 mins
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
Prawns -180
grams
Chilli Paste
-1 tbsp.
Tomato Paste:
3 tbsp.
Fish stock:
1 stock pot
Paprika -1 tbsp.
One white
Onion
Olive Oil -3
tbsp
Few cloves
of garlic
Parsley
Salt to
taste
White vine (optional)
Cream -3 tbsp
Water -1 cup
Water -1 cup
Finely chop
the onions and crush the garlic till it’s nice and fine,i used a whole garlic(this can be adjusted based on your preference) alternatively you can
also use garlic paste.
Pour the olive oil onto a pan and once it is hot add the
onions and crushed garlic, sauté until the onions are translucent.
Add the
tomato puree, chilli puree, paprika, and sauté for a few minutes, until the
bright red colour turns to a mild brown colour. At this point, you can add the stockpot,
add some water and the prawns, and allow the mix to simmer for a while.
Once it
is reduced and the prawns is tender, you can add a nice glug of white vine and
let it cook for another 5-8 mins.
Finally, in
goes the cream to the mix, allow it to go warm but make sure it does not boil.
Add salt to season and top it with some freshly chopped parsley.
Whilst the pot is bubbling away, you can even toast some garlic bread with parsley. Some tender greens of spinach and rockets, with a light lemon dressing goes beautifully well with the dish.
In under 20 mins, your weekday dinner is ready! With as little as one pan to wash up, minimal chopping, and very little faffing around-it is a total winner!
We would love to hear about your cheat’s dinner recipes! Do you enjoy the weekday cooking drill or would you rather cook up over the weekend!
Until Next time!
Take care!
