Crayfish and chorizo spaghetti
Every time I go to Lidl I have to buy a pack of their shelled and cooked crayfish tails! Not only are they yummy (and reasonably priced!) they are perfect for nibbles and quick and easy meals such as salads and pasta dishes. This yummy Crayfish and chorizo spaghetti takes just 10 minutes to cook so it’s ideal on busy or lazy days. You can use other types of pasta – I made it with gluten-free spaghetti.
Ingredients
Method
- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
- Meanwhile, skin then chop the chorizo.
- Heat 1 Tbsp oil in frying pan. When it begins to brown and releases its fat, add the crayfish and the peas. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the peas are tender and crayfish has warmed through.
- Drain the pasta, reserving about half a cupful of the cooking water.
- Toss the paste with the chorizo-crayfish mixture, add remaining olive oil and some cooking water (it should be moist). Stir in some chilli flakes then season with salt & pepper.
- Serve immediately.
