Ingredients
Scale
Protein & Vegetables
- 280g king prawns
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 300g long-stemmed broccoli, halved lengthways, thicker stems halved
- 200g frozen peas
Pasta & Liquids
- 360g wholemeal linguine
- 750ml low-salt vegetable stock
Seasonings & Oils
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
- 3 tbsp sriracha, plus extra to serve (optional)
- 2 limes, zested and juiced
Instructions
- Cook Prawns and Garlic: Heat 1 tbsp rapeseed oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 280g king prawns and 2 crushed garlic cloves, cooking for 3 minutes until the prawns turn pink. Remove prawns and garlic to a bowl and set aside.
- Simmer Pasta and Broccoli: Pour 750ml low-salt vegetable stock into the same pan, season lightly, and bring to a boil. Add 360g wholemeal linguine and cover. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. After 5 minutes of cooking the pasta, add 300g halved long-stemmed broccoli to the pan.
- Add Peas and Finish Cooking: When the pasta and broccoli are nearly cooked through, add 200g frozen peas. Remove the lid and cook uncovered for 2-3 minutes to allow peas to defrost and finish cooking.
- Flavor and Combine: Stir in 3 tablespoons sriracha, lime zest, and juice from 2 limes. Toss the cooked prawns and garlic back into the pan, mixing everything well.
- Serve: Divide the linguine between bowls. Serve with extra sriracha or a grind of black pepper if desired.
