Chilli crab spaghetti

Anne made this for me from a recipe that she had seen Ainsley Harriott make on TV recently. It was nice, but not really all that 'fishy'. This is a fishier version.

Ingredients

Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩‍🍳 method for this recipe

• 150 g dried spaghetti
• 3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
• 2 small fresh hot chillies de-seeded and finely chopped. red or green are fine. They freeze brilliantly so freeze what you don't use.
• Thumb sized lump of ginger, peeled and grated - homemade lazy ginger is just as good.
• 100 g white crab meat
• 100 g peeled prawns
• 2 tablespoons of nam pla
• 150 g cheery tomatoes
• 4 spring onions, chopped on the diagonal
• Juice and zest from 1 lime
• Leaves from fresh coriander or parsley, chopped

Method

1. Cook the pasta until it has just a little bite, about 10 minutes in boiling salted water.
2. Add the oil to a separate large pan and sauté the garlic, chilli, ginger, tomatoes and half of the spring onions for 4 minutes.
3. Tip the drained pasta into the large pan, add the crab, prawns, lime and herbs.
4. Mix well and serve.
5. garnish with the remaining spring onions and a few herb leaves.

Variations

Don't be too bothered about the quantities of the seafood, crab tends to come in minute packs and can be quite expensive. Make up the difference with prawns or other seafood that may be available.

Peeling ginger

There is no need to peel ginger. As a result of attending a Thai cookery demo, we have learnt that peeling ginger is unnecessary unless for aesthetic purposes as the skin is high in fibre and full of flavour. However, do remove any bits that have become tough or woody.
