This wonderfully light prawn linguine recipe is the perfect healthy supper for the family. The zesty and fiery chilli dressing is an optional extra but works so well with this fishy dish. It's also a good one to learn for all future seafood dishes - it could even be used as a marinade for chicken and salmon fillets. You could make the dressing in advance and keep chilled until ready to cook the pasta and prawns to add - it's always best to make the prawn linguine on the day. Even still it's a quick and stylish supper to serve to friends too, and minimal stress for the cook. If you fancy switching in prawns for King prawns then that would make a tasty addition to this prawn linguine! This delicious recipe is best made and eaten on the same day for the best taste and freshness.
