Crab And Zucchini Linguine - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    250 g crabmeat (2-3 blue manna crabs)
    4 zucchini (small)
    1/4 cup olive oil
    1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
    2 red chilies (deseeded and finely sliced down the length of the chilli)
    salt (to taste)
    pepper (to taste)
    500 g fresh linguine
    2 tablespoons parsley (roughly chopped)
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    1 lemon (cut into wedges, to serve)
Preparation
    Pick through the crab meat to ensure there is no shell.
    Finely shred the zucchinis or either coarsely grate them or use a mandolin to slice.
    Add the olive oil to a wide pan and add the shredded zucchini and cook for a couple of minutes over a high heat until they collapse but have not coloured.
    Add the garlic and chillies and cook for a couple of minutes longer.
    Season well with the salt and pepper and fold through the crab meat.
    Meanwhile cook the linguine in salted water - this should not take more than 2 minutes.
    Lightly drain the linguine and then mix through the crab mixture.
    Fold through the parsley and lemon juice and then serve with the lemon wedges.
