Grilled Prawn Linguine* Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Cook the Linguine

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the rest.

2. 2

   Prepare the Cream Sauce

   In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add the heavy cream and preserved lemon, stirring well. Let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

3. 3

   Grill the Prawns

   In a bowl, toss the prawns with remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the prawns for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque.

4. 4

   Combine Everything

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked linguine, grilled prawns, fresh parsley, and fresh basil. Pour the preserved lemon cream over the pasta and toss gently to combine. If the mixture is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is achieved.

5. 5

   Serve

   Drizzle aged balsamic vinegar over the top just before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
