The season is finally here for Spot Prawns! And I just made one of the BEST pastas I ever had. The result of cooking down the prawn shells was deeply flavorful! Rich in umami with a pure, oceanic essence that elevated the entire dish.
To a pan on medium heat sauté the shallots, garlic, tomato paste & chili flakes in olive oil for 5mins. Add in the prawn shells & sauté on medium high heat for 23mins. Add water and simmer on medium heat for 30 minutes. Strain the prawns and transfer the liquid to the pan & simmer on low/med heat until sauce has thickened. Add noodles to the stock along with fish sauce & butter. Simmer on low until noodles are well incorporated & enjoy with Spot Prawns.
