Chilli Prawn Linguine

One of the joys of being home alone is the freedom to use the kitchen. I came across the recipe for Chilli Prawn Linguine from a blog yesterday, and the blogger said that it was a simple and easy recipe. The only ingredients I had to get were the prawns, since I pretty had the basic ingredients at home already (linguine, parsely, chilli, garlic, olive oil).

Nonetheless, simplicity is more than meets the eye. It was indeed a simple recipe, but to achieve the best results was tougher than I thought. I cooked the pasta in two batches. The first for Sam, and the second for myself.

In my first attempt, I overcooked the garlic and chilli, and they ended up being burnt. I put too little pasta water, olive oil and salt, and the pasta ended up being rather dry and blend. Then in my second attempt, the garlic and chilli weren't burnt! However, I added too much olive oil and pasta water, so it became quite wet. The prawns were overcooked this time and they didn't look as good as they were in the first batch (could see from the colour)

Nonetheless, the prawns turned out to be really fresh and succulent. Sam commented that it almost tasted like prawn noodles. Well, I don't really know how it's supposed to taste.

Over all, I think this wasn't a good attempt :(

Prawns. My first time dealing with prawns! Got pricked countless times
