Cajan Prawn Pasta

No ratings yet
Who doesn’t love a one-pan wonder that’s loaded with flavour and ready in under 20 minutes? This creamy Cajun prawn pasta is smoky, a little spicy, and SO satisfying – perfect for busy nights when you want something delicious without making a huge mess. I love how the prawns soak up all that saucy goodness, while the chorizo gives it a bold, meaty kick. Let’s get into it!

Method
 

  1. Heat a big pan with a splash of olive oil and cook the chorizo until it’s golden and smells amazing.
  2. Add garlic, tomato paste, Cajun seasoning, and stock powder. Cook for about a minute to wake up all those flavours.
  3. Lay the pasta straight over the top and pour in enough boiling water to cover it.
  4. Pop a lid on and let it simmer for 5–6 minutes.
  5. Remove the lid, add the cream and prawns, and give everything a good stir.
  6. Toss in the spinach, pop the lid back on, and turn the heat down low.
  7. Cook for another 5 to 6 minutes until the prawns are pink and the pasta is tender.
  8. Take the lid off, stir in the fresh basil, and serve it up!
