50g butter

175g pack raw shelled king prawns, de-veined and split in half lengthways

finely grated zest 1 lemon, then cut the lemon into wedges

Method

Boil the pasta following pack instructions. Meanwhile, very gently cook the garlic in the butter in a medium pan until softened. Add the prawns and cook until they just turn from grey to pink.

Drain the pasta and toss into the pan with the prawn mixture and parsley until well mixed. Divide between two bowls and serve with the lemon wedges.
