Notes
For an added crunch, you can sprinkle toasted breadcrumbs on top.
Adjust chilli quantities according to heat preference. Remember, it’s easier to add more later than to mitigate excessive heat.
Always use fresh prawns for the best taste and texture. Serve the Creamy chilli prawn pasta hot. Complement with a light green salad to balance the richness. A chilled glass of sparkling water with a lemon wedge can be a refreshing accompaniment.
