A seafood pasta feels fancy without even trying and we think a squeeze of zesty lemon juice with these prawns is enough to earn a five star rating for this fusilli dish. We’ll let you be the judge. *We’ve replaced the orecchiette in this recipe with fusilli due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!*

Cooking Steps
• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. • Cook fusilli in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people), then drain fusilli and return to pan.
• While the pasta is cooking, zest lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges. • Thinly slice celery and leek.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook prawns, celery and leek, tossing, until prawns are pink and starting to curl up, 3-4 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, then add garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in cream (see ingredients), the salt, reserved pasta water and lemon zest until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Stir through cooked fusilli, baby leaves, the butter and a generous squeeze of lemon juice until combined, 1 minute. Season with pepper.
• Divide lemon and prawn orecchiette between bowls. Sprinkle with a pinch of chilli flakes (if using). • Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
