3. Add the onion, celery, garlic, chilli and mint. Fry until the prawns turn nutty brown.

4. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes.

5. Stir in the lemon juice, then the courgettes. Cook for 5 minutes.

6. Pour in the white wine, bring to the boil and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from direct heat.

8. Add the strained tagliarini to the prawn mixture, followed by the vegetable stock, butter and Parmesan cheese.

9. Mix well together over a medium heat with a wooden spoon until glossy. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper and serve at once.

I'm making this tonight but I will fry the prawns separately and add at the end as they only need a few minutes to cook.

Prawns are totally overcooked in this recipe. I used a mixture of "spot" prawn,scallops and clams. Delicious.
