2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves , chopped

400g spaghettini
1 tsp capers , drained and rinsed
1 chilli finely chopped ( remove seeds if for less heat )

Method
1 In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and chilli flakes. Cook until just pale golden, then add the prawns and cook until just turning pink, now add tomatoes. Cook 3 mins more on a high heat until the tomatoes start to break down a little. Add the lemon juice and cook for 1-2 mins. Remove from the heat and stir in the crab to warm through – not too much or it will break up.

    Tried this without the crab (it looked at little suspect at the grocery store) and it was amazing! I will have to make double batch next time so bf doesn’t eat it all. 🙂
