I am surprised to miss out publishing this recipe that I make most often. I just love the juice of the prawns clinging onto the pasta in every mouthful.
Medium size prawns, vein removed
Cherry tomatoes
Chopped Chili
Your favorite pasta
Fresh basil
White wine
Olive oil
Garlic, chopped or sliced
Crushed black pepper
Sea salt
Heat up a good amount of olive oil over medium-high heat and fry prawns till cooked. Remove prawns from pan. Turn down the heat to medium and fry garlic and chili using the same oil. Put in tomatoes follow by salt and pepper. Once tomatoes are soften and the fragrance of garlic fill the air, pour in white wine and let the alcohol evaporates. Add sweet basil follow by some pasta water to thicken the sauce. Add pasta which is already cooked to al dente follow by the prawns and all the juice. Mix well and serve with parmigiano if desired.

I love this kind of food !
It looks really delicious
Thank you so much! Same here. It never fails to satisfy my cravings. 🙂
I’m such an amateur when it comes to seafood, your dish looks wonderful!
Thank you! When the seafood is fresh, you don’t need much work to make it good 🙂
Danny, I love how beautiful this dish is. I love the cherry tomatoes and chopped chili….so flavorful. I can just taste it. You have such a gourmet touch to everything and I just love it 🙂
Aw…thank you for your beautiful words Brandi! I really appreciate it.Same here, i almost can’t do without cherry tomatoes and chili for every aglio olio dish 🙂 So happy you like it.
It is 6:54 am here as I read this and suddenly I am wishing I had a steaming bowl of “Aglio Olio with Prawns” for breakfast. It looks absolutely delicious and your photographs are wonderful. Great dish, Danny! Sprouted grain toast and coffee is no longer going to cut it for me this morning. 🙂
Thank you so much Dani! I hope you were up early and not that you’ve stayed through the night till morning..hmmmm.., with the different timezone between us, it might be just right for me to cook it up for dinner and teleport straight to you as breakfast. 🙂
gosh danny this looks so good..i love how it’s nothing complicated, just really good ingredients combined to make a lovely dish…wish I had a big bowl right now…photos are just beautiful…lovely post..sarah
Thank you so much Sarah. Your comments always makes me happy. You are right that the best recipes are always the ones that has good ingredients and prepared simply. With two burners working at the same time, this can be cooked within 30 minutes including preparation. 🙂
An instant classic. The tomatoes make it the perfect dish for summer, too.
Thank you Hannah! Yes you are right. I love tomatoes in my pasta too! Even when I can’t get really good ones here.
Superb! I make similar pastas to this all the time 🙂
Thank you Sofia! So glad that you are making it as well. Great minds think alike! 🙂
I’m not a fish lover, Danny, but it suffices to read your recipe to understand it’s a winner. It looks great! 🙂
Aw…thank you Francesca. You make my day! 🙂
I love this recipe Danny! I am going to put this one on my list. I love aglio olio and never made it with prawns before.
You must! And please give me your comments after trying it. Thank you so much!
Yum…my family love prawns. They are probably the most cooked seafood in my house besides salmon. 🙂 And I love the way you prepare this dish. Simple and scrumptious.
Thank you Amy! I’m sure you often make this too. It always works when the prawns are fresh. Glad you like this recipe. 🙂
I could eat numerous plates of this! You are so right, the smell of garlic in the air , mmmm… Great & delicious Post!

looks like hokkien mee, high class one. ;X
hmmm…is that a compliment? 😡
Sounds delicious Danny, I have a similar recipe that I use all the time, instead of white wine I use lime juice.
Thank you for stopping by Karen. I must try lime juice next time because I know it’s going to taste awesome! Great tip!
You are welcome its always a pleasure reading your blog, I forgot to tell you I mix the juice and zest of two limes with 2 tspn of sugar and I just toss it through at the end with the basil.
Ah…I always toss pasta with lemon juice, raw garlic and fresh basil when I’m lazy to do real cooking after work. Looking forward to using lime and zest instead 🙂
Love the simple flavors in this dish. Your second photo is fantastic!
Thank you so much Karen. Your compliment means a lot to me!
What an elegant dish, Danny! Sounds delicious!

This is a gorgeous dish Danny. Perfect in its simplicity! I’m not a big pasta eater but when I do cook pasta, I love it with just clean, delicious flavours like this. I love your photos, as per always 🙂
Thank you my friend. I eat a lot of pasta and I adore simple recipes like this. Sometimes, I just toss hot pasta in olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, tomatoes, fresh basil, salt, pepper and parmigiano. And that’s dinner 🙂
That looks so delicious! I’m actually making the same thing tonight, so happy I picked up some prawns, otherwise I would be dreaming about this 🙂
Thanks! You are making me craving for it again 🙂
Ohhhhh! You’re making me hungry!
Thanks! You got to make this 🙂
Damn those prawns look good! I love the mix of seafood and pasta. Yum yum!

Hi Danny – hope all is well. Just noticing your absence and making sure that it’s nothing serious – and that you haven’t abandoned us… 😉
My lovely friend, your comment makes my eyes water..I am so touched to hear this from someone so far away who has not forget about me.
It’s been a while since I log on to this account. In the past months, I have been drag down by work with major restructuring and added responsibilities that are not looking too good for me. That is when I start to focus on my job hunting which I have finally came upon something that sounds promising but requires me to relocate to another city.
I am now preparing for my move and foresee I may only post again after I have settled down in the new environment.
So.. I am okay and certainly have not abandon friends over here. Keep writing and I will log on to visit whenever I can.
Thank you Gabriela. Great to have you 🙂
Danny, wishing you all the luck with such great changes in your life. I am always here, and shall think of you 😉
Aw…thank you Gabriela! I will certainly update my whereabouts when things are more concrete. And I will be bringing along your blessings with me so I’m going to be al-right 🙂
Luv,
Danny
Hi Danny, I was thinking about you too and missing your amazing posts! I wish you the best of luck with everything, hope things turn out well and look forward for your next post 🙂 Bridget
Hi Bridget, thank you so much for not forgetting me. You seldom comment but when you do, your words calm my nerves from the many uncertainties I am facing now to prepare for the changes in my life. There are no words to express how touched I am to hear from you. I am not giving up blogging and you will certainly see my post appearing again from another city. I will be in touched once I’ve settled down. Please continue to remember me 🙂
Luv, Danny
