FAQs about the Prawn Pasta

Which prawns (shrimp) should I use?

I used frozen (cook from frozen) king prawns, but you can use any type you like. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly.

Can I reheat leftovers of this prawn pasta?

You can, be sure it’s piping hot before serving. That said it will be quite dry once reheated as the ‘sauce’ soaks into the pasta a little.

Can I make this vegetarian?

Sure, just replace the prawns with a vegetarian protein alternative.

Can I use reduced fat soft cheese?

Yes, I’ve found that it doesn’t make much difference to the ‘sauce’. But be sure to use a flavoured type of soft cheese here as it’s the shortcut to heaps of added flavour.
