Step 1

Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water following packet directions or until al dente. Drain well.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the prawns and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes or until prawns curl and just change colour. Add the chilli and garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until aromatic.

Step 3

Add the pasta, tomato, green shallot and basil to the prawns and gently toss until well combined and heated through. Drizzle with the remaining oil and gently toss until well combined. Divide linguine among serving bowls and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
