Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 12 Sicilian red prawns
  • 12.7 oz spaghetti

  • 4 fresh red chilies
  • 4 carrots
  • 2 celery stalks
  • 2 white onions
  • 7 oz tomatoes
  • Salt, to taste

  • Bring 2 quarts of water to boil for the pasta.
  • In a pan, sauté finely chopped garlic, parsley, and chili in olive oil. Add 2 ladles of the prawn bisque and combine to create a sauce.
  • Place the prawns between two sheets of parchment paper and gently pound to create a carpaccio.
