Ingredients:

• 400g prawns, peeled, deveined, tails on
• 3 tbsp butter
• 3 tbsp Grumpy Gary's Gar-lick Dip
• 2 tbsp grated shallots
• 2 tsp minced red chili pepper
• 220g spaghetti, uncooked
• ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley
• 1 fresh red chili, chopped (optional)

Makes: 4 servings

Method:

1. Prepare the Prawns: In a bowl, season the prawns with salt and pepper. Set aside while you prepare the other ingredients.

2. Cook the Spaghetti: Cook the spaghetti according to the instructions on the package until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. Sear the Prawns: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add 2 tablespoons of Grumpy Gary's Gar-lick Dip. Add the seasoned prawns and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until cooked through and slightly caramelized. Remove the prawns from the skillet and transfer them to a clean bowl or platter. Set aside.

4. Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the grated shallots and minced red chili pepper (if using). Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the shallots are soft and translucent.

5. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of Grumpy Gary's Gar-lick Dip to the skillet. Stir until melted and well combined with the shallots and chili. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss well to coat the pasta evenly with the garlic sauce.

6. Finish and Serve: Return the cooked prawns to the skillet with the pasta. Toss everything together gently and cook for another 2 minutes to heat the prawns through and allow the flavors to meld together.

7. Garnish and Enjoy: Plate up your Gar-Lick Prawn Spaghetti and garnish with chopped parsley and chopped red chili peppers for an extra kick if desired. Serve hot and savor the delicious flavors of this garlic-infused dish.
