* 10 large King prawns, shelled and de-veined (mine were Frozen and defrosted)
* Splash of Nam pla
* 1 tablespoon Ghee
* 1 tablespoon Olive oil
* 3 Fat Cloves of Garlic, peeled and crushed
* 2.5 cm Ginger, peeled and finely chopped
* Big splash of Louisiana hot pepper sauce (Tabasco does just as well)
* Pinch of Salt
* Home made Pasta (100 g Flour, 3 Egg yolks, pinch Salt, 1 teaspoon Dried Parsley
* Leave the pasta in the Fridge for a few hours before rolling out
* Roll out into quite thick sheets, the middle setting on our Imperia pasta machine)
'''Sauce'''
* 1 can Lobster biqsue
* 150 ml Single cream
* 40 ml dry sherry
===Method===
* Make the fresh pasta as shown here, adding 1 tablespoon Dried Parsley - fresh would be better but ours is a bit mangy this time of year. I left the pasta in the Fridge for a good while in the hope the parsley would rehydrate a little.
* Soak the Prawns in the Nam pla for an hour or so. I like to do this as it makes them even fishier. You could omit this if you don't have the inclination!
* Blitz the Prawns for a few seconds in a Food processor (or Delia's chopper - ordered but not yet arrived!) - The resulting mix should be Rice-Grain sized pieces of Prawn, not purée.
* Heat the Ghee and Olive oil, add the Garlic and Ginger and Fry off until it just starts to colour, stir in the Prawn mixture and stir constantly so it mixes well and cooks evenly
* When the Prawn stars to colour, remove from the heat, add a pinch of salt and the hot pepper sauce. I added a little Cornflour to thicken at this stage, though there may be better ways. Allow to cool a little.
* Roll out the Pasta using the middle setting on an Imperia pasta machine - too thin and the Ravioli has a tendency to leak
* Cut the Pasta into strips about 4 cm wide
* Place just under a tablespoon of the mix on the Pasta, avoid getting Oil on the edges as they won't stick well
* Wet the edges of the Ravioli fold over, press together with your fingers, finishing with the back of a fork.
* Place on a lightly floured plate
* Add the Sherry to the Lobster bisque and gently heat in a large pan until Simmering, add the Ravioli and Simmer, covered, for another 8 minutes
* remove from the heat, gently stir in the Cream and serve immediately
