Zesty Sun Dried Tomato Prawns with Spaghetti
Overview
One of the vibrant colors found in southern Italy’s summer palette is represented by the deep red of the chili pepper. Known for its heat and introduction from the Spanish during the Colonialism. The idea of this dish comes from Chef Richard with the idea of creating a highly flavorful meal, that doesn’t leave the chef in the kitchen for hours. The little pepper carries bright, zesty notes that exist in our Zesty Sun Dried Tomato Prawns with Spaghetti. The lively flavor of this dish comes from the sweet sun dried tomatoes, tart lemon juice, and zesty spices.
