Cook until just tender. Drain well. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large frying pan. Cook prawns and garlic until prawns have just changed colour. Remove from pan and cover to keep warm. You may have to cook prawns in batches depending on the size of your frying pan. Add peas to the same pan; cook, stirring, until heated through. Add lemon rind, shallots and parsley; cook, stirring until peas are tender. Return prawns to the pan. Add juice and stir until hot. Combine prawn mixture with hot pasta and extra olive oil. Toss well and season with black pepper. As an alternative, try the prawn mixture served with leafy greens (miniature lettuce varieties or baby rocket) for an entree or side dish with a fish main course. To do this, reserve the lemon juice and add it to the extra olive oil to make a dressing. Drizzle over prawn mix before serving.
