Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium zucchini spiralized into noodles
- 12 prawns deveigned, shelled, tails removed
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 whole tomato or a handful of cherry tomatoes
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes plus more for garnish (adjust to taste)
- sea salt and pepper to taste
- fresh parsley or basil for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a glug of olive oil in a frying pan on low heat. Add in the minced garlic and raw, deveigned prawns that have been shelled and tails removed. Cook 5 minutes, flip them over, and cook another 5 minutes until they turn pink. Remove them from the pan and set aside
- In the same pan, add in the tomatoes, breaking them up if using whole tomatoes from a can. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes, and spiralized zucchini noodles. Cook for 5 minutes, just enough to warm up the tomatoes and soften the zucchini. Don't overcook or your zucchini noodles will get mushy
- Transfer the zucchini and tomatoes to 2 serving bowls and top with 5-6 prawns on each, fresh parsley, basil, grated parmesan cheese, and more red pepper flakes, depending on how spicy you like it
