🔥Only 5 Ingredients! - Spicy Creamy Prawn Pasta!

hey guys welcome back to another video today I'm going to share with you how to make this very quick and easy spicy creamy prawn pasta it only requires a couple ingredients I just use what I had in the fridge so to start off I'm using some frozen prawns that I defrosted in some warm water and then for the spices I added in some chili flakes cayenne pepper some chili powder and I also added in some paprika as well and then while that's marinating on the side I then chopped up some onions and then I followed that by slicing up some garlic as well so that's actually all the topping that you need to do for this recipe but now for the next part in a hot pan I added in some olive oil along with the garlic and I let that just cook down for a minute until it starts to like slightly Brown and then after a minute while it's on a medium to low heat I then added in the prawns I only cook the prawns for around one to two minutes on each side and it's also on a medium to high heat as well once you've removed the pawns I then also added in some olive oil again you can add butter if you do want to add that though and then I followed that by adding in the chopped onions after a couple minutes on a medium to low heat they will start to Brown when they start to look a little bit like this I then added in the double cream after adding in the double cream make sure that the heat is low because you don't want it to start boiling for the next part it's time to add in the seasonings I ended up adding in some Cajun seasoning followed by some paprika and mixed herbs as well I did go with the flow when it came to adding in the seasoning to the sauce um simply because you slowly start adding in more if you feel like you need it so if you feel like you want more of a kick then I'd recommend that you add some more cayenne and maybe some black pepper as well because I didn't add any of that inside this dish but if you do want to add that then that'll be a good idea as well I ended up adding in some more cayenne pepper also I added salt since I forgot and I added in more paprika as well and it started to bring out a really nice color in the sauce don't forget make sure your heat is low and also taste it as much as you can because the sauce really dictates like the whole flavor of the dish as you can see I literally added in like a heap spoon of cayenne pepper because there wasn't that much flavor in the sauce and then once you are satisfied with how it tastes then add in about pasta I'm using penne pasta of course I didn't realize how much pasta water was inside since I thought I'd drained most of it but there was still quite a lot of pasta water which does eventually mix with the dish but it will somewhat make your sauce a bit thin considering you've just added water into like a creamy sauce if you do have this problem like me where I added in way too much of pasta water and it just starts to look like a pasta soup and you can either thicken it up with some cheese or what I did is I literally just drained out a little bit of the water so I could get it to how I wanted it and then after draining as much water as I needed to this is how the pasta ended up looking I actually didn't end up using any cheese in this recipe because I just wanted to keep it really simple but I ended up adding on some mixed herbs and I followed that by adding in the prawns I'm not really a fan of prawns that much um it depends how they cook so I ended up actually chopping the prawns in smaller pieces like this and then I just mixed it into the pasta and then I kept some of the pieces whole just so I could like take a picture and show that it was actually prawns in the distance you can't see them chopped up and this is literally how the dish turned out it only requires a couple ingredients um it will definitely be nice with chicken as well I think a chicken and prawn would be actually like a nice combo to do but yeah I hope you guys enjoyed this video the next thing that I am planning to make is a chicken pasta salad I'm literally in need to make loads of work meals so when I do I'm gonna post them and share them with you guys and yeah take care guys I'll see you in my next video
