HIGH FIVE
TUNISIAN PRAWN SPAGHETTI WITH FRAGRANT ROSE HARISSA, ZINGY LEMON & FRESH PARSLEY
Serves 2 Total time 22 minutes
“Tunisians are some of the biggest pasta eaters on the planet and they have a whole load of their own pasta shapes and techniques. Harissa really amplifies the sweetness of the prawns here – delicious!”
INGREDIENTS
• 150g/5oz dried spaghetti
• 8 large raw shell-on king prawns
• 2 tsp rose harissa
• ½ abunch of flat-leaf parsley (15g/½oz)
• 1 lemon
1. Cook the pasta in a pan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions. Meanwhile, peel the prawns, removing and reserving the heads and leaving the tails on. I like to run a small sharp knife down the back of each, discarding the vein, so they butterfly when they cook. Toss the prawns with the harissa and leave briefly to marinate.
