Spaghetti with prawns, lemon, chilli, and coriander offers a delightful twist on a classic dish.

The juicy prawns bring a taste of the sea, perfectly complemented by the citrusy tang of lemon. A hint of chilli adds a fiery kick, balanced by the fresh, vibrant notes of coriander.

This combination creates a harmonious blend of flavours that will elevate your dinner. This dish is both simple to make and a treat for the taste buds.

Gluten free prawn, chilli, lemon pasta by Kam Sokhi mind body & eating coach

I rarely use wheat pasta these days. I always opt for either brown rice pasta which I have used in this recipe. Buckwheat or spelt pasta is also really great to use. Spelt isn’t gluten-free, so bear that in mind if you have an allergy. These pasta types take only 4/5 minutes from boiling, which is a lot quicker than wheat pasta.

I personally prefer the gluten-free pasta as they don’t bloat me as much and taste the same, so it’s win-win. I have also used frozen prawns as its something I always have in the freezer to throw something together in a hurry if I need to.

Ingredients

This pasta is really versatile, and please use whatever vegetables you have in the fridge. Broccoli and asparagus go really well with pasta along with the beautiful marriage of the olives, garlic, lemon and chilli. You can use any kind of seafood in this recipe so just throw in whatever you fancy. You can make this vegan by replacing the seafood with crispy tofu if you don’t have an allergy to dairy top with some freshly grated parmesan for a stunning finishing touch.
