Spaghetti with creamy avocado and prawns

Becky

We are lucky to live very near a great Italian restaurant owned by a couple from Naples who make really fantastic pizzas and pastas, including one with avocado and prawns in a creamy sauce which sounds a weird combination but actually is delicious. I tried making it at home earlier this week only realising at the last minute that I didn't have any cream 🤤 (the original is very creamy). So I substituted with creme fraiche and yoghurt which added a nice tangy taste. It was a big success and got some big smiles so here is the recipe 😊😊

Steps

  1. 1

    Fill a pan with water and put on to boil with a bayleaf, a generous pinch of salt and a little dash of olive oil. Wash the defrosted prawns (I didn't have time to slowly de-freeze, so I put the bag in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes to speed up the process), put them on a plate and squeeze the lime juice over them. Gently fry the chopped onion (and chilli flakes if you are using them) in a little olive oil and some salt. When the onion is soft, add the prawns. Stir well and when the prawns start going opaque

Alicante, Spain
Born in the UK, I came to Spain after graduating many moons and meals ago, and I'm still here. For me cooking is a great way to unwind at the end of the day. My recipes tend to be quite quick and simple and (mostly!!) healthy too. Also quite seasonal - I prefer buying fresh local produce as much as possible. When I have time, I love spending a few hours cooking, filling my kitchen with delicious smells and great music and then hosting family and friends for long happy meals, laughs, conversation and chilled white wine. I'm a great believer in the power and value of home cooking for our own health, happiness and wellbeing and those of our loved ones and since I joined the Cookpad team 11 years ago I am committed to helping to make everyday cooking more fun for people all over the World. You can see more recipes (in Spanish) on my Cookpad Spain profile here: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/eng/users/1089227
