Instructions

  1. Thaw the shrimp tails if possible. Cut the garlic and onion into cubes and sauté with oil in a pan until translucent. Then put the prawn tails in the pan and fry for about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients, i.e. canned tomatoes, cream, tomato paste and Italian herbs (fresh, frozen or dried - best basil, oregano, rosemary) and, if you like, chilli to the pan.
  3. Since the prawn tails are always too few for me, I also add a small pack of peeled and cooked prawns, but it`s not a must.
  4. Meanwhile, bring the salt water for the spaghetti to the boil. Boil the spaghetti and in the meantime simply simmer the sauce in the pan over a low heat, season with salt and pepper.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
