#  Food Maths: Marinated Prawns  


Using packets and jars in your cooking doesn’t necessarily mean reducing flavour, says food writer Chloe Scott-Moncrieff. In our new Food Maths column, she introduces one hero ingredient from a supermarket and adds a few cheats to make a trio of top time-saving meals. This week, it’s three ways with marinated prawns.

### **1. Chilli Prawns With Fennel Linguine**

**INGREDIENTS**

- 150g of [Chilli &amp; Coriander King Prawns](https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/sainsburys-chilli---coriander-king-prawns-150g)
- 250g of [De Cecco Linguine](https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/de-cecco-linguine-500g)
- 200g of [Loyd Grossman Tomato &amp; Chilli Sauce](https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/loyd-grossman-pasta-sauce--tomato---chilli-350g)
- 1 tsp of [Dr Oetker Ready-To-Use Lemon Zest](https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/colourings---flavourings/dr-oetker-ready-lemon-zest-6g)
- 1 tsp of [Sainsbury’s fennel seeds](https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/sainsburys-fennel-seed-34g)

**METHOD**  
Simmer the linguine until al dente. Meanwhile, heat the tomato chilli sauce, stir in 2 tbsp of white wine and cook off. Sprinkle in the fennel seeds. In the final minute or so, heat the pre-cooked prawns by adding them to the mix. Meanwhile, drain the pasta. Season with sea salt and black pepper and a lashing of olive oil. Stir the sauce in. Stir in the lemon zest. Serve. If you want a garnish, a kiss of dill or basil leaves would be delicious.

### **2. Aromatic Chowder**

**INGREDIENTS**

- 150g of [Chilli &amp; Coriander King Prawns](https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/sainsburys-chilli---coriander-king-prawns-150g)
- 340g of [Green Giant Sweetcorn](https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/green-giant-sweetcorn--original-198g)
- 100g of [Sainsbury’s Chopped Onion](https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/sainsburys-chopped-onion-750g)
- 200g of [Sainsbury’s Baby Potatoes With Herbs And Butter](https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/sainsburys-ready-prepared-baby-potatoes-with-seasoned-butter-385g)

**METHOD**  
In a large pan, melt 20g butter and sauté the onion and pancetta. Cook for a few minutes. Pour in 2 tbsp of white wine and simmer off for a minute. Microwave the potatoes for 1-2 minutes, according to the directions. Be careful not to burn yourself; cut them into 1cm slices. Now add the prawns, potatoes and double cream to the onion and bacon. If it’s too thick for your liking, you can add 3 tbsp water, fish stock or milk to get the consistency you like. Strain the sweetcorn and add to the mix. Taste. Season with black pepper and salt if needed. Sprinkle with tarragon, chives or parsley as you prefer – or even a little paprika.
