Pesto Zoodles with Spicy Prawn

Chop the ends off the zucchini and attach it to the spiralizer. Make sure that one end is pressed onto the blade. Slowly start spinning and in a matter of seconds, you will have your entire batch of zucchini noodles ready.

Now comes a really important step. Sprinkle the zoodles with a bit of salt and place between any cloth or kitchen tissue paper. Leave it for 10 min so that it releases some water.

While your zoodles are resting, marinate the prawns. Combine all the spices, rub into the prawns and set them aside.

Now it is time to make the pesto! Place the basil, spinach, pine nuts, garlic and parmesan into the food processor. Process till it is a chunky paste.

Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the pesto while the motor is running so that the oil gets emulsified well into the sauce. Your pesto is now ready!

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan. Once your pan is hot then add the prawns into the frying pan. It should be so hot that the prawns start to sizzle. After two minutes, turn them onto the other side and let them cook for an additional minute and a half. Remove the prawns from the pan.

Put the pan back on to the heat and toss in your zoodles. Sauté them for 1-2 minutes but make sure that they are still al dente. You do not want them turning into mush. Toss the cooked zoodles in a bowl with 2 teaspoons of the pesto. Then place the spicy prawns on top and serve!
