Trofie with courgettes, prawns & chilli from Simple: Effortless Food, Big Flavours (page 137) by Diana Henry

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute dry white wine for dry white vermouth.

    Simple, but nice flavors. Glad to have protein, carb, and veg in one dish. Easy enough for a weekend lunch or a weeknight dinner. I rounded up on ingredients to use 1 lb pasta, 1 lb shrimp, and basically needed 3x of everything else. Had to remove items from pan to accomodate next step and to not overcook the shrimp. Came out really good.

    Made this for my husband and he said it was fine but he didn't see the point in the courgette. Quick and easy recipe for a night when he wants some of the things I can't eat!

    Easy, quick and tasty for a Sunday evening. Will definitely repeat this one.

    Very nice for Easter dinner, quarantine-style. Used fresh mint & parsley, and added a large shallot with the zucchini.

    Lovely and quick to make, even on a weeknight. Finally a recipe for those trofie that have been lingering in my cupboard for some time now. Will make again.
