Mexican Prawn Pasta with Chipotle

Mexican Prawn Pasta with Chipotle
  • 1/2 pound spaghetti
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound prawns, peeled and deveined
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons tequila reposado
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • salt to taste
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese


  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
  2. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add prawns and garlic; saute until prawns are opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low; add tequila and spinach. Cook until alcohol evaporates, about 3 minutes.
  3. Combine cream, chipotles in adobo, and salt in a blender; blend until smooth. Pour over prawns, stir, and simmer over low heat until everything is well heated (do not boil), about 3 minutes.
  4. Toss pasta in the sauce until well combined and serve immediately with freshly ground pepper and Parmesan cheese.
