Notes
King prawns: I cook the prawns from frozen but you can use any type (just adjust cooking times accordingly)
Courgettes: These are commonly known as zuchinni outside of the UK
Soft cheese: Make sure you use the garlic and herb variety. This is our secret weapon! It's a perfect flavour-packed shortcut
To make this a vegetarian dish: Replace the prawns with your favourite vegetarian protein alternative
Type of pasta: You can make this as a prawn linguine if you prefer, or whatever pasta you have in or like
