Cooking Tips

• Make sure to cook the pasta until al dente to ensure it has a slightly firm texture.
• Do not overcook the prawns as they can become rubbery. Cook them just until they turn pink and opaque.
• Adjust the amount of garlic and red pepper flakes according to your taste preferences.
• For added flavor, you can also add a splash of white wine to the skillet when cooking the prawns.

Storage and Serving

• This dish is best served immediately while the pasta is still hot and the prawns are fresh.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, gently warm the pasta in a skillet with a little olive oil or butter.
• Garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving the leftovers.
