1. Cook the linguine in a large pan of boiling salted water, as per the pack instructions.
2. Once cooked, drain, reserving half a cup of the pasta cooking water.
3. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan (large skillet), over a medium heat.
4. Add the onion, red pepper, jalapeno and garlic, and fry for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the onion starting to soften.
5. Add the prawns to the pan and sprinkle the Cajun seasoning on top. Stir together and fry for a further 2 minutes, until they’re just starting to turn pink.
6. Add the hot pepper sauce, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and cream.
7. Stir together and bring to a gentle simmer, then stir in the parmesan.
8. By now the linguine should be ready. Add to the pan, along with a good splash (about 4-6 tablespoons) of the pasta cooking water.
