Prawn Arrabiata Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium (10-inch) pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, warm the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the garlic has softened and is lightly browned.
• Meanwhile, drain the tomatoes, place them in a food processor fitted with the steel blade, and pulse until they're roughly chopped. With a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic to the food processor and pulse again to chop the garlic. Pour the tomato mixture into the pot with the olive oil, add the fennel, red pepper flakes, red wine, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in the basil, taste for seasonings (it will be very spicy!), and keep warm over very low heat.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a full boil. Add 2 tablespoons kosher salt and the penne and cook according to the directions of the package.
• Two minutes before the pasta is al dente, using a wire or spider strainer, lift the pasta out of the boiling water and add it to the sauce, along with 1/4 cup of the pasta water. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, until the pasta is al dente. Spoon the pasta into low shallow bowls, sprinkle with extra basil and Parmesan cheese, and serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook shrimp, stirring occasionally, 6 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in same skillet over medium-high heat and cook onion, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in garlic, basil and oregano and cook 1 minute. Stir in Sauce and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Stir in shrimp, then toss with linguine. Sprinkle with cheese and garnish, if desired, with chopped fresh parsley.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large pan and add the prawns. Sprinkle with salt and cook for a couple of minutes until just pink all the way through (don't overcook!).
• Remove the prawns and set aside.
• Add the remaining oil, garlic, onion and chili to the pan and cook gently until the onion is translucent - do not brown.
• Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, lemon juice and basil. Simmer for approximately 20 minutes, stirring regularly until the tomatoes start to break down a little.
• Add the red wine and continue to simmer until the tomatoes are completely soft. Taste and season if required.
• Add the prawns and cook until warmed through.
• Stir in the parsley just before serving.
