- For best results, use fresh prawns or shrimp for this recipe.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes.
- Substitute the shrimp for chicken - This substitution provides a leaner protein source, and allows for a more budget-friendly meal.
- Substitute the linguine for whole wheat spaghetti - This substitution will add more fiber and nutrients to the dish, making it a healthier option.
Vegetarian Variation Replace the shrimp with 1/2 cup of cooked chickpeas. Increase the olive oil to 2 tablespoons. Add 1/4 cup of diced red bell pepper and 1/4 cup of diced green bell pepper. Cook the vegetables in the olive oil until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and cook until the sauce thickens.
Garlic Bread - Garlic bread is a great accompaniment to this dish as it adds a nice crunch and flavor to the meal. The garlic butter also pairs well with the honey sauce on the prawns and adds an extra layer of flavor.
Creamy Parmesan Risotto: Creamy Parmesan Risotto is a great side dish to serve with the prawns. It adds a creamy and cheesy flavor to the meal, and the risotto pairs well with the honey sauce. It also has a nice texture and a mild flavor that complements the sweetness of the honey sauce.
