Prawn Aglio Olio

Serves 1 pax

Ingredients:
- 100g spaghetti
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp chopped garlic
- 5 large prawns/shrimps (shells & veins removed)*
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh english parsley/basil (I use 1/2 tbsp of dried basil)
- chilli flakes (optional)
- salt/garlic salt

Preparations:
1) Add some vegetable oil and salt to a pot of water, and boil the spaghetti till al dente (according to the instructions on the package). Drain & set aside.

2) In a saucepan (medium flame), heat olive oil and stir fry chopped garlic, parsley/basil and chilli flakes till they are infused with the oil.

3) Add the prawns and stir fry till they are cooked. Toss in the pasta and stir evenly.

4) Season with salt (about 1/2 tsp and add more if needed) and stir well. You can garnish with parsley flakes, grated cheese and garlic bits before serving.
