|description=This Brown shrimp, peas and pasta recipe is surprisingly good
}}
This recipe is surprisingly good. The [[mint]] seems an odd herb to accompany [[seafood]] and [[Garlic|garlic]] but it worked really well.

Use the small peeled [[Prawns#Brown_shrimp|Brown shrimp]] that are more often sold by specialist [[Suppliers|suppliers]], sea-front stalls and fishmongers than they are in supermarkets. Well worth hunting out.

Home made [[Pasta|pasta]] is the best to go with this dish. Do try it, you don't even need a [[Pasta machine|pasta machine]]. Just roll it our flat and cut into rough strips with a knife.
