Pesto with Prawns Pasta

Tonight I am making pesto with prawns. Most people say shrimp but they mean prawns. I learned this just this morning from my friend Hannah. Shrimp are really little, prawns are larger. So Hannah, here's to you!

Ingredients:
For the Prawns:
10-12 uncooked, cleaned prawns
2 tbsp. butter
1-2 gloves of garlic

Pesto:
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
2 cups fresh, washed and dried basil
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
2 gloves of garlic
Pinch of Epicures Herbed Garlic Sea Salt.

In a food processor combine the ingredients for your pesto. Set aside. Cook some 4 servings of pasta.
In a sauce pan, melt butter, add minced garlic. Toss in your prawns, flipping to cook thoroughly. (Add mushrooms, peppers or other veggies for colour and a healthy kick)
Add your pesto mix to your cooked pasta. Top with prawns and veggies. Sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top.
As always Happy Eating!
