A recipe for easy pasta with tiger prawns, garlic and chilli, tossed in a sauce of olive oil, butter and white wine.
So simple and so good – full of flavour, and still a light pasta dish.
In my experience there is a huge difference between chilli flakes: some are fiercely hot, others so mild they barely taste of anything (almost 😉 So I always recommend seasoning to taste, depending on the strength of your chilli flakes.
You can use fresh chilli if you prefer – in this particular dish, though, I like flakes best.

Method
- Peel and devein the prawns, then pat them dry with a little kitchen paper.
- Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions.
- Meanwhile, heat the butter and olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the shallots and garlic in it for a couple of minutes.
- Pour in the white wine and let it reduce by half.
- Add the prawns, chilli flakes and 1 handful of parsley, and cook the prawns until they are pink on both sides – about 2 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper.
- Drain the pasta and toss it with the sauce, the prawns and the remaining handful of parsley.
- Serve straight away, tasting to see whether it needs a few more chilli flakes on top – and sprinkle with parsley, freshly ground pepper and finely grated Parmesan if you like.

Såååå lækkert
Hej Janni
Tusind tak for din dejlige besked:)
Warm wishes, Dianna
Kan man bruge vannamei rejer i stedet? 🙂
Hej Lis
Det kan du i hvert fald 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Den er bare lækker. Laver den tit. Tusind tak for at stille opskriften til rådighed.
Kan jeg komme anden væske ved end hvidvin?
Hej Line
Det kan du sagtens, – du kan bruge bouillon i stedet for (grønt eller kylling), og så smag til med citron til sidst.
Citronen skal først tilsættes til sidst, når retten er færdig 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Start i øvrigt med kun 1 dl bouillon, – og tilsæt mere hvis du synes den mangler væde 🙂
Meget god og hurtig at lave
Hvor er det dejligt at høre Anne, – tusind tak for din besked 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Superlækker. Jeg puttede en smule røget paprika i (inspiration fra Gambas Pilpil) – det blev den ikke ringere af
Hej Jens
Det lyder også vildt lækkert, – rigtig god ide 🙂
Rigtig god dag.
De bedste hilsner
Dianna
Det smagte fantastisk!
