For an elegant and tasty dinner option, what could be nicer than tiger prawns, good quality linguine, garlic and chilli. This is a standby of mine for a super quick meal. While the pasta is cooking, you can prepare the rest of the ingredients and then, within minutes, toss it all together and serve.
