Ingredients and Substitutions
Shrimp or prawns. Fresh or frozen (and thawed), peeled and deveined. Extra virgin olive oil. Fresh garlic cloves. Chilli flakes / red pepper flakes. Lemon juice. Parsley. Pasta. I prefer long pasta for this (spaghetti, linguini, tagliatelle, etc) but any pasta shape will work. Salt and black pepper. Parmesan, for serving. It’s not traditional in Italian cuisine to serve seafood with cheese but I love adding Parmesan cheese to this recipe. Feel free to omit it if that’s your preference.

How long to cook shrimp
Shrimp (or prawns) cook very quickly when cooked in a hot pan. Once the prawns have turned evenly pink and opaque, they are cooked. This takes approximately 3-5 minutes in total. Take care not to overcrowd the pan as this will cause the shrimp to steam instead of pan-fry.
