Serving suggestion: Prawn and chorizo pasta

400 g cooked and peeled small prawns
100 g chorizo coins
2T olive oil
250 ml fish, seafood or vegetable stock
1 handful basil
400 g chopped tomatoes
125 ml cream
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 pinch sugar
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
chilli flakes
400 g linguine, cooked until al dente
Parsley leaves, roughly chopped, for sprinkling

Warm the prawns in a saucepan of boiling water for a minute. Drain well, reserving the water for cooking the pasta.

Flash fry the chorizo in some olive oil over a medium heat, until warmed through and slightly crisp. Remove from heat and set aside.

Simmer the stock, basil, tomato, cream, garlic and sugar for 5 minutes. Blend, then check the seasoning. Add the warmed prawns and chorizo and toss with the hot, drained linguine. Garnish with the chopped parsley and chilli flakes and serve.
