Sadly it seems so much of the wonderful variety of food we have access to comes from a bad place - for the people who grow or harvest it or the environment that sustains it, or both.
So we should perhaps not be eating prawns, which are sourced from Indonesia, according to the latest tele horror show. They are always my favourite, though and will be hard to give up as a treat. One of my world's most memorable meals was giant prawns cooked in garlic and lime in a huge wok on a boat in Goa.
Anyway, if you do use them, make the most of them; this is one way.
Prawns and Pasta
I small bag of raw prawns for 2 people (or cooked ones)
Enough pasta for 2 - fettucini is good
1 lemon
1 red chilli
Olive oil
Garlic
Stir it all briefly to combine, add handful of parsley, and serve with a little parmesan and a salad
This is quick, delicious and special ( if a little guilty)

- Cook pasta
- Heat oil gently in a wide frying pan and warm the lemon zest finely chopped, the chilli chopped and the garlic crushed
- Push these to one side and turn the heat up slightly
- Cook the prawns till pink and then mix it all together
- If you have cooked prawns, just heat them through slowly with all the other ingredients
- When the pasta is cooked, don't drain it, fish it out directly into the frying pan. This means the whole will be wetter but this is good.
