Spaghetti garlic chili oil and prawns ❤️ 🔥 

Yummy and very delicate! A dish full of colors but also of flavors. I give you just one piece of advice: prepare plenty of them because I'm sure you'll do at least an encore. This dish is nothing more than a variant of the classic garlic oil and chili pepper with the addition of some seafood ingredients: the shrimp tails that are very sweet and very delicate and the anchovy sauce, a product of Campania origin, exactly from Cetara, a village on the Amalfi Coast.

To me, nothing says “Mediterranean diet” better than olive oil, garlic and spicy red pepper. From these cornerstone ingredients, along with juicy vine-ripened tomatoes, pours forth authentic southern Italian cuisine. Along with garlic — the “Queen of the kitchen” — extra-virgin olive oil and spicy red pepper, we’ll throw in some prawns, sauté it all together and pour it over, around and through al dente strands of spaghetti.

 

INGREDIENTS

140 Gr Spaghetti 

14 Shrimp tails

1 segment Garlic

1 spoon Anchovy sauce

 Extra virgin olive oil to taste

 Pepper to taste

3 Tablespoons Dry white wine

1 chili pepper optional

1 Lime

Parsley to taste

GUIDELINES

Clean the shrimp tails well, depriving them of the casing. Place them on a sheet of plastic wrap and cover them with another sheet of film. With a meat mallet flatten them. Remove the film. And season with lime juice, salt and a drizzle of oil. Leave in the refrigerator. In a pan heat a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil together with chopped garlic and sliced chili. Sprinkle with a little dry white wine and let evaporate. Add the anchovy sauce. And a handful of parsley. Turn off while the pasta is cooking. Cook the spaghetti al dente in salted water. Sauté them in a pan with a few tablespoons of pasta cooking water. Then, once the heat is off, pour the marinated shrimp and serve immediately. 

Here is your prawns, garlic oil and chili. Enjoy your meal!
