- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the linguine and return to a boil. Cook until the pasta has cooked through but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
- While pasta is cooking, combine the olive oil, pineapple juice, orange juice, orange zest, lemon zest, salt, pepper and garlic in a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth.
- Pour sauce into a large frypan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Add the prawns and parsley; cook until prawns are pink and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Drain the linguine, and place on a serving platter. Spoon the prawns and sauce over the pasta, and top with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

This was so good!! I doubled the recipe and it came out great! I added pineapple chunks to the top of the pasta as well before pouring the sauce and shrimp on top. It was surprisingly light and I was so happy that everyone enjoyed it. I will definitely be making it again soon! - 23 Mar 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
