“Wild-caught ocean prawns in garlic, white wine and butter — simple, fast and completely satisfying.”

We use wild-caught prawns only — never farmed. Availability is seasonal so when we have them, this recipe is the best way to enjoy them. The entire dish comes together in 15 minutes. Do not walk away from the pan.

  • 1 lb Wild prawns, peeled and deveined
  • 12 oz Linguine
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted butter

    Sauté garlic

    Melt butter in a wide pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook 60 seconds.

  3. 03
    Add wine

    Pour in white wine and let it reduce by half, about 2 minutes.

Pro Tip

Prawns cook in under 2 minutes per side — they are done the moment they turn pink and curl into a C shape. An O shape means overcooked. Watch them constantly.
