Ingredients & Method

TIMING
25mins Prep Time
20mins Cooking Time Feeds 6-8


INGREDIENTS
18 Large Scarlet prawns, kept whole with the shell on and butterflied from under the head to the tail (can be substituted for king prawns, lobster, WA marron or crab)
1 Punnet yellow cherry tomatoes
1 Punnet red cherry tomatoes
100g Shallot, brunoise
50g Garlic, crushed
1 Large red chilli, finely sliced
1/3cup Parsley, finely sliced
200ml Olive oil
300ml Fish stock
60g Passata
White wine
Lemon juice, to taste
750g Spaghetti
Salt, to taste
Pepper (freshly cracked), to taste

METHOD
This is a great recipe for a lunch or dinner party. It is not too  difficult to make, looks great as a centrepiece and is perfect  to share with large numbers of friends! 

Halve cherry tomatoes and place in a bowl with 20ml of  olive oil and a pinch of salt. Lay flat on a baking paper-lined  tray. Place into a preheated oven at 110c and dry out for 2  hours. While the tomatoes are drying prepare the remaining  ingredients and set aside. 

Fill a large deep pot with water, add a tablespoon of salt and  bring to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente, or roughly 6-8  minutes. 

While the pasta is cooking, heat a large wide heavy-based  pot. In this pot over a medium to high heat place the olive oil  then add the prawns and quickly sauté. Once the prawns  are slightly cooked remove them and place into a bowl and  set aside. 

In the same pot add a touch more oil and bring down to a  medium heat. Add the shallot, garlic and chili and gently  sauté for 1-2 minutes making sure you get no colour, then  deglaze with a splash of white wine. 

Once the wine has reduced slightly add the fish stock and  passata and bring to a boil.

With the pasta al dente, remove and place into the pot,  add a little of the pasta water, prawns and dried cherry  tomatoes. Cook over a medium heat reducing the sauce  and adding a splash of olive oil.  

Turn off the heat, season with lemon juice, salt pepper and  parsley. Gently mix and place into a serving dish, generously  top with the pangrattato and a drizzle of olive oil.
