   In a large fry pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon fresh chilli. Add in your prawns, cooking on high heat until they turn pink and a little crispy. Then, grate over your lemon zest.

   Add your prawns and all those juices to your pasta sauce and let those cook together.

5. 5

   Boil a large pot of water (for your pasta) and cook your pasta al dente- make sure you reserve 1/2 cup pasta water for later.

   Once your pasta is cooked, drain and place into your sauce along with your reserved pasta water.

7. 7

   Top with fresh parsley/ basil to serve and ENJOY!
