Very easy to cook this homemade prawn pasta recipe will be always a perfect choice if you have friends over or for weeknight dinner. You only need few ingredients and 30 minutes to cook it.If you are in a hurry and want to save time you can choose to buy prawns that are already pre-peeled, deveined and boiled ( I always go for this option as is saving me time).Even though I`m not a seafood lover I find this shrimp pasta recipe very tasty and works very well with a glass of white wine.
