Prawn Penne
This prawn penne has a great rich flavour from the garlic, wine and vermouth reduction, I use it either as a starter or main depending on the dinner.

This was SUPERB! We used 2-3 times the garlic and shallots that were called for. The reduction took a bit longer since we were being careful not to scorch the garlic- maybe up to 40 minutes total. We also used close to a full pound of pasta. This dish had a wonderful flavor and we all loved it. This was an instant favorite! - 11 May 2006 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
My family loved this recipe. It really was delicious. You do need to allow the wine mixture to reduce to almost nothing before adding the butter and shrimp. As good or better than what you get in a restaurant! - 25 Aug 2005 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This was outstanding. My reduction never really became a "thick golden glaze" as described in the recipe, but I still thought it was delicious. My only change was to use chicken stock instead of fish stock. - 17 May 2005 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
