Just the picture made me make it! It was really nice and a change to a normal prawn dish! - 19 Jul 2015
This was lovely ! Very light and fresh so much flavour with very little ingredients. I added some chilli flakes to the prawns and tossed lemon juice through the pasta topped with parmigian cheese - 25 May 2015
