Method

  1. Put the oil, shallots and a good grind of pepper in a large, cold frying pan. Place over a low heat and slowly cook for 10 mins, stirring regularly, until softened.
  2. Add the chorizo to the shallots, turn up the heat (but not too much) and colour a little. When the orange oil is released into the pan, add the tomatoes and a good pinch of salt. Stir over a medium heat - the tomatoes should literally melt in about 10 mins. If the sauce is not bubbling, turn up the heat a little. Add 100ml water and bring to the boil. Gently simmer for a few mins more.
  3. Meanwhile, cook the pasta. Add the prawns to the sauce, bring back to the boil and cook for 1 min until the prawns change colour. Drain the pasta and stir into the sauce with the spring onion whites. Cook and stir for 1 min. Serve sprinkled with the spring onion greens.

    Really tasty tomato sauce, perfect summer pasta dish. Best with big juicy prawns and works best with really thinly sliced chorizo. Good Saturday night dish!

    Easy recipe to follow and the result is very impressive. Made this lots of times and replaced the prawns with chicken when I didn't have any prawns.

    Am I missing something here? The dinner was nice but nothing special, I think there are many other prawn and chorizo combinations that are far better on this site. Also what makes the prawns spiced??? It was a little plain for me, not to say I didnt eat it all and enjoy it but will stick to the spanish/paella prawn recipes for example instead.

    Lovely! I added some chipotle paste to spice it up even more. Think it needs more than 100ml of water too

    Made this dish for a speedy meal, and it was absolutely superb. Because it is quick to make, does mean the taste is compromised!

    Astounded by how robust the flavour was despite the relatively small list of ingredients. Both easy and quick. A bowl licker of the highest order.
