Used different ingredients. I followed the other reviewers suggestions and used a whole pound of prawns, and served with bowtie pasta. I also added the white wine and a little chicken stock, as there wasn't much sauce. Didn't add the hot sauce because I didn't have any and my family doesn't like spicy food. They thought it was great. It is a nice light dish, and would be great in the summer. - 29 Sep 2008
Used different ingredients. Took the advice of other reviewers and added a bit of butter and white wine to the prawn and asparagus. Served over farfalle with fresh grated Romano. Fantastic dinner in 30 minutes or less! This ones a keeper. Thanks for a great recipe. - 29 Sep 2008
Something else. This was such an easy recipe to make and was so tasty. I added a little white wine to the garlic and oil before adding the prawn. I also added a little water from the pasta pot to make it a little soupier. I served it with a salad and a hunk of Italian bread which people used to soak up the sauce. This is a really nice recipe to make when you are really tired and you have company coming over or you want to make a special dinner in 10 minutes flat! Goes great with white wine or champagne. - 29 Sep 2008
