I made prawns and pasta

KBVan21@reddit

That looks exactly what I expect it will look like when you vomit it back up.

melonbone@reddit

those aren’t prawns and what the hell

[-]

Cyborggrowbot@reddit

Waste of prawns. You need some serious cooking lessons.

MerryBerryMudskipper@reddit

This is a war crime in multiple galaxies.

[-]

MerryBerryMudskipper@reddit

Nah even they don't claim this 1.

Mayo pasta can be so good but this ain't it (though admittedly I think seafood/fish is the most disgusting thing in creation, I don't know how anyone can eat it🤢).

rawshakr@reddit

Forgot to put some raisins and cheese bro

[-]

cmstyles2006@reddit

You know pasta generally has...sauce? That's like the point

[-]

reyntacia@reddit

Would. I have similar taste with OP. Actually inspires me to buy prawns to make this dish

[-]

mcolette76@reddit

I’ve never seen mayo on pasta before.

[-]

john_humano@reddit

Im late to the party, havent read every comment, my question: was it good?

[-]

E_GEDDON@reddit

I don't think you can call this food.

[-]

KLUBBSPORRE@reddit

Omg you ate this in front of colleagues??!!?

I hide all my gross food habits at home 😂

[-]

AlecS2k@reddit (OP)

No they just saw a picture of it and immediately told me to post it on here haha

[-]

KLUBBSPORRE@reddit

Also your colleague is right, you’ll be right at home here

Heavy-Tour-2328@reddit

If you replaced the mayonnaise with campbell cream of mushroom as the sauce, it would be totally “foodporn” instead of “shittyfoodporn.”

[-]

unclejoe1917@reddit

Do they not grow herbs where you live? If that was butter instead of what appears to be squeeze bottle mayo and you got a squeeze of lemon and maybe some chopped parsley, you'd be doing alright.

[-]

AlecS2k@reddit (OP)

They do I was just doing a bad job it seems.

[-]

BituminousBitumin@reddit

You should call it Once Fresh Saltwater Prawns with Dessicated Pasta Tossed in Aioli Adjacent Marketplace Sauce.

[-]

asusvegetable1@reddit

I beg of you never to this again.

Please follow the precise steps of this one. You can even add tomatoes or other vegetables during the cooking.

Wow great shout will take a look thank you!

[-]

Outrageous-Taro7340@reddit

Mayopasta is a fine occasional choice. That’s not enough though.

[-]

Bro was so close to greatness. Nex time saute your shrimp in garlic butter, drop the pasta in when shrimp about half cook and finished with lemon juice and parsley. I promise you it'll be a lot better

[-]

AlecS2k@reddit (OP)

Wow that sounds great thanks!

[-]

Turd_Ferguson420@reddit

The word “made” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here

[-]

AlecS2k@reddit (OP)

Touché

[-]

Jean-Peters@reddit

Why the mayonnaise? Ruins everything.

[-]

gneissguysfinishlast@reddit

Prawns, pasta, and a rope of mayojizz on top?

[-]

AlecS2k@reddit (OP)

Only the finest Heinz mayo jizzrope will do

[-]

BarmayneGR@reddit

I’m reporting you. I’m currently deciding if it’s going to be the FBI or the CDC, but something is wrong and you must be stopped.

[-]

AlecS2k@reddit (OP)

Sorry officer

[-]

hovdeisfunny@reddit

Your whiteness is out of hand. I know we're supposed to like mayo, but this...this, sir, crosses the line. You're making us all look ~~bad~~ worse

[-]

Several_Razzmatazz51@reddit

If you call it aioli you could sell it in a three-star restaurant.

[-]

Boogy-Fever@reddit

I prefer the wide tipped squeeze bottles that make mayojizz ribbons

And mayo?!!?

[-]

BigDende@reddit

Replace the mayo with olive oil and herbs and you'll have a masterpiece of deliciousness!

[-]

confusedsloth33@reddit

Yep, fry the prawns in some oil with garlic, chilli and some herbs and you’ve got a solid meal.

[-]

AlecS2k@reddit (OP)

Thank you I will try this!!

[-]

Material_Cookie8920@reddit

i second this. with some lemon.

[-]

OddlyRedPotato@reddit

It's funny how you guys are just describing mayo.

The mayo recipe I use is oil, garlic powder, salt, egg and lemon juice.

[-]

NineteenthJester@reddit

There's no egg though?

[-]

OddlyRedPotato@reddit

You use 1 egg for like 300ml of oil. The egg doesn't add to the flavor in mayo. It's just used to give it some thickness, help it stick to food better.

But sure, you win the pedantic olympics today. Congratulations.

[-]

AlecS2k@reddit (OP)

Good shout

[-]

OddlyRedPotato@reddit

Mayo is like 98% oil. So this is close enough.

[-]

VBgamez@reddit

instead of mayo try butter next time. Give the shrimp a nice sear in the pan with the butter bfore adding pasta. Or dont cause id eat that shit too ngl.

[-]

adventurepony@reddit

Pan? Brother, this was bag to bowl to microwave.

[-]

AlecS2k@reddit (OP)

Thanks!

[-]

Soft_Chipmunk_8051@reddit

Prawns 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[-]

That-Water-Guy@reddit

Thought prawns were bigger?

[-]

Sea_Structure_8692@reddit

They are, but the poster might be from another country(like the UK) that uses the term for shrimp as well.

[-]

That-Water-Guy@reddit

That’s fair. I forget that language is not the same all around.

[-]

Flaky-Ambassador467@reddit

“Seafood Alfredo” on a budget

[-]

AlecS2k@reddit (OP)

Definitely on something!!

[-]

escaping-reality@reddit

At least it’s mayo and not ketchup lol

[-]

deetzle@reddit

Season raw shrimp with salt and pepper. Saute in butter and olive oil with garlic, and shallots. 1-2 minutes per side, do not overcook. Deglaze with white wine. Check seasonings and add salt and pepper if necessary. Squeeze juice if a lemon over the shrimp and toss with cooked pasta. You could add a touch of heavy cream if you want a creamier sauce. Top with fresh parsley and parmesan cheese if desired.

Ok_Philosopherr@reddit

What’s the difference between prawns and shrimp

[-]

FungadooFred@reddit

The spelling

[-]

jivens77@reddit

Shrimp are smaller and live in salt water and prawns are bigger and live in fresh water. However, they can be used interchangeably a lot of the time because of how similar they are.

So they are extremely similar flavorwise but technically two different animals/sea bugs.

[-]

AlecS2k@reddit (OP)

Good info!

[-]

AlecS2k@reddit (OP)

According to AI:

The key difference is anatomical: shrimp have a curved body with overlapping shell plates and claws on two pairs of legs, while prawns have a straighter body with a different shell overlap and claws on three pairs of legs.
