Linguini with Honey Sauced Prawns

I cannot tell you the amount of times I have made this recipe. I am a shrimp lover and this recipe is super easy and fast. It's definitely a go-to recipe for me (you can tell by the food splatters in the cookbook).

 

The combination of honey and red pepper flakes in the dish make it a real winner and a staple in my house. I used to omit the red pepper, but adding it in really makes it better. I also learned that prawns are very large shrimp. I just thought some people called them shrimp and some called them prawns. Good to know.

 

 

 

 

1 pound linguini

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup honey

4 tsp. cornstarch

1/4 tsp. dried rosemary

1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes

1 tsp. salt

2 Tbs. olive oil

1 pound prawns, peeled and deveined

3 garlic cloves, minced

 

 

Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and keep warm.

 

 

Combine next 6 ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

 

 

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.

 

Stir fry the prawns and garlic for 3 minutes, or until the prawns start to turn pink.

 

 

 

Add the honey mixture and stir fry for 1 minute, or until the sauce boils and thickens.

 

 

Serve over linguini.

 

You can add any vegetables, scallions, onions, etc, if you wish. Or it is yummy plain and simple.
