Method

Main

1.Combine lemon juice, vinegar and prawns in a bowl, sprinkle with salt, then stand until prawns change colour (6-8 minutes; the prawns will “cook” in the acid).

2.Meanwhile, boil pasta in a large saucepan of well-salted water until al dente (8-10 minutes), then drain, reserving 50ml cooking water, and return both to pan. Add prawns with the liquid and remaining ingredients, toss to combine and serve hot or at room temperature with lemon wedges on the side.
