Altered ingredient amounts. My partner couldn't get enough of this dish! I made a double batch of the marinade and set aside half to coat the pasta; I then marinated pre-cooked prawns for about 45 minutes. I tossed the prawns and marinade together with wholewheat linguine. The family loved it and partner commented that it was the best prawns & pasta he'd ever had. - 21 Jul 2008

Altered ingredient amounts. I followed the recipe as is,but i didn't have fresh parsley on hand so i used dried italian herbs instead(probably about 1-2 teaspoons) and i also added the zest of 1 lemon.With the garlic,i crushed 2 fresh cloves instead of using the minced garlic in jar. - 06 Sep 2009
