Cooking instructions

* Step 1

You have to make the fish stock first, you can make it 24 hours in advance and set in fridge until needed or freeze it for longer.

* Step 2

In a pot add the water, the prawns, a few dried chili's and a few onion skins. Bring to the boil and cook until the prawns have turned pink normally 4-5 at the most. Take of the heat and remove the prawns from the pot set aside. Remove the onion peels and discard.

* Step 3

When the prawns have cooled down enough to handle. Peel the skin and heads and add all the discarded prawn peel, heads and chili's into a blitzer with half of the water. Blitz together very well. Set aside the now peeled prawns and the fish liquid to add to the pasta later.

* Step 4

Heat olive oil in a saucepan, then add the onion and garlic, fry for 3-5 minutes on medium heat until the onion becomes soft.

* Step 5

Add the can of tomatoes, paste, chopped pepper, bay leaf, salt and parsley and stir. Simmer for another 5-6 minutes, add about 100ml of water and allow to simmer down stirring regularly.
