Ingredients

  • 175 g King Prawns
  • 100 g Chorizo
  • 400 g Linguine
  • 250 g Passata
  • 1 400g tin Cherry Tomatoes
  • 1 item Onion
  • 2 tsp Chopped Garlic
  • 1 tsp Paprika

  • 1 bunch Fresh Parsley
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 pinch Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil

Method

  1. Slice the chorizo and onion.
  2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and add the chorizo, onion and garlic. Fry for 5 minutes until the chorizo starts to crisp but careful not to burn it.

  4. To the frying pan, add the paprika, chilli flakes, tomatoes and passata. Stir well and simmer for 10 minutes whilst the linguine is cooking. Chop the parsley.
  5. Add the king prawns to the chorizo and sauce. Season with salt and pepper, and simmer for as further 5 minutes until the prawns are pink and cooked through.
  6. Add the cooked linguine to the pan, adding a bit of the pasta water to bind the sauce to the pasta. Stir well and turn off the heat.
  7. Serve the pasta sprinkled with the chopped fresh parsley.

Tips

  • Cooking chorizo can release quite a bit of oil. If you like you can carefully drain this off or soak up with a bit of kitchen roll.

Swaps and substitutes

  • You can use frozen king prawns just make sure fully defrosted before use.
