Asparagus & Prawn Pasta
Hello Spring, Hello Tasty!
Spring on a plate, baby. Fresh asparagus, juicy prawns, lemony zing, and our legendary Pimped Pepper turning up the flavour dial to 11.
This one’s fast, fancy-looking, and outrageously tasty — even if you make it in your trackies.

Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil (plus a glug more for good measure)
- 1 red onion, finely sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 300 g prawns (peeled and deveined)
- 2 Tbsps Spicecraft Pimped Pepper
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 4cm pieces
- 1 tomato, flesh removed and finely diced
- Juice of 2 lemons + zest of 1
- Cooked spaghetti (or any pasta you like), tossed with:- Olive oil- 1 Tbsp Pimped Pepper- Juice of ½ lemon
- small basil, finely chopped
Instructions
Sizzle the good stuff
- Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.Add the red onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until soft and fragrant.Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds - just until it smells irresistible.
Cook the prawns
- Add prawns and 1 Tbsp Pimped Pepper. Cook until pink and juicy - about 2 minutes each side.Toss in the asparagus and diced tomato, stirring until the asparagus is bright green and just tender.
Make it sing
- Add lemon juice and zest, plus a generous glug of olive oil. Stir to make everything glossy and coated.
Add the pasta
- Tip in your pre-seasoned pasta (that you have already pimped with olive oil, lemon juice, and Pimped Pepper). Toss well for 1–2 minutes until everything’s mingling happily.
Serve it up
- Pile it high in bowls, sprinkle with chopped basil, drizzle with a touch more olive oil if you like things saucy, and sprinkle over an extra pinch of Pimped Pepper for good luck.
