Maldon sea salt flakes
freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Cook the orzo in a large saucepan of salted boiling water according to the packet instructions.
Meanwhile, place a frying pan over a medium-high heat, drizzle in some olive oil and cook the garlic until translucent. Stir in the tomato purée, pul biber, turmeric and a good amount of salt and pepper and cook for a few minutes.
Once the orzo is cooked, drain, reserving some of the cooking water.
Add the prawns to the tomato mixture and stir to coat, then add the cream and stir well before adding the orzo and giving everything a really good mix. Add enough of the reserved pasta water to make the sauce your desired consistency.
Check and adjust the seasoning if desired, stir again and cook until the prawns turn pink and are cooked through.
Serve immediately. This needs no other accompaniment.
