Step 1 Begin by putting a medium-sized pot of water on to boil.

Step 2 Once boiling, cook pasta according to package instructions, about 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 3 Strain, and set aside in a covered pot while preparing the sauce and prawns. Do not rinse.

Step 4 Mince garlic and ginger, and sauté both with the sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir gently for 2 to 3 minutes over medium-low heat, taking care to not allow to brown. Add water if needed, until ginger is softened.

Step 5 Add carrots, and sauté an additional 4 to 5 minutes, then add bell peppers and peas. Reduce stirring, and allow vegetables to crisp for 3 more minutes.

Step 6 Add baby corn, water chestnuts, coconut milk and dressing to the saucepan. Lower heat to minimum, cover, and simmer while preparing the prawns.

Step 7 In a small mixing bowl, combine spices and prawns, and toss well to coat. In a separate preheated pan, add butter, prawns, and cook 1 to 2 minutes per side, until just heated through and beginning to curl. Remove from heat immediately, and set aside.

Step 8 Add the spaghetti to the pan with the sauce and vegetables, and stir generously to thoroughly coat each delicious bite. Plate, and top with 3-5 prawns. Set the table with the garnishes, call the family to the table, and enjoy!

Step 9 Definitely, don’t skip the toppings – fresh lemon wedges, green onions, and spicy chili crisp are must-haves for this dish! Mmmmm – now that’s more like it!
