Helpful Tips
For those new to cooking seafood, ensure the prawns are cleaned and deveined properly for the best texture and taste. If you prefer less heat, you can adjust the chili quantity or omit it altogether.
Storage Instructions:
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or olive oil.
Ingredient Substitutions:
Feel free to use whole wheat linguine or gluten-free pasta for a healthier alternative. If fresh prawns are unavailable, frozen prawns work perfectly well; just thaw them thoroughly before cooking.
