Spaghetti With Prawns, Pepper, & Broccoli

• 1 pound prawns, shelled & deveined
• 1 pound spaghetti, or any other long pasta
• 1/2 cup minced garlic
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 1/2 cups broccoli, bite-size pieces
• 1 1/2 cups red bell pepper, thickish matchsticks or slivers
• 1/3 cup fresh parsley, minced
• 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan, plus more for topping
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• salt, pepper
• soy sauce or Maggi seasoning, optional

1. Cook pasta according to box directions.
2. When the pasta is about 2 minutes to done, heat a large skillet or dutch oven on medium heat. Add butter and oil, to melt. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes to soften, but not brown. Then add parsley and oregano. Cook for 30 seconds.
3. Increase heat to high. Add broccoli and peppers. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are al dente. Add shrimp and cook until they just turn pink, try not to overcook. Turn off heat. Wait for the pasta to finish cooking if needed.
4. Drain the pasta and immediately add to the prawn/vegetable mixture. Add parmesan and toss well to thoroughly coat the pasta. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm with extra cheese on the side, for individual topping. This also tastes good cold.
5. Variation:rnAdd a light drizzle of soy sauce or Maggi for flavoring. The soy sauce and cheese are a surprisingly good combination.
