➤1 pound (450g) large prawns, peeled and deveined

➤2 tablespoons olive oil

➤3 cloves garlic, minced

➤1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

➤1 can (14 oz / 400g) diced tomatoes

➤1/4 cup white wine (optional)

➤1/4 cup chicken or seafood broth

➤1/4 cup heavy cream

➤Salt and pepper to taste

➤1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

➤Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions:

1. Cook the Spaghetti:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Cook the Prawns:

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

3. Add Tomatoes and Liquid:

Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices) to the skillet. If using white wine, pour it in and let it simmer for a few minutes to reduce slightly. Add the chicken or seafood broth and let it simmer for another few minutes.

4. Creamy Sauce:

Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Cook the Prawns:

Add the peeled and deveined prawns to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become tough.

6. Combine Sauce and Pasta:

Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the prawns and sauce. Toss everything together gently, ensuring the pasta is coated with the flavorful sauce.

7. Finish and Serve:

Stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve the seafood spaghetti in individual plates, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.

8. Optional Enhancements:

If you want to elevate the dish further, consider adding other seafood like mussels, clams, or calamari rings to the sauce along with the prawns.
