Preparation

How to prepare Pasta with Prawns

To prepare the pasta with prawns, start with the shellfish broth, therefore clean them: remove the head, legs, and shell, then cut along the back and remove the intestine. Set aside the scraps and halve the cherry tomatoes you will need for the broth. Cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters for the dressing 1. Clean and coarsely chop the shallots 2. Heat the oil in a large saucepan and add the shallot 3.

Also add the shrimp scraps 4 and sauté them over high heat stirring and mashing with a wooden spoon, then deglaze with white wine 5 and season with white and black peppercorns 6.

Add the parsley 7 and the cherry tomatoes cut in half 8, then cover with water 9.

Cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes, using a skimmer to remove the foam that will form on the surface 10. In the meantime, bring a pot of water to a boil to cook the pasta. About 20 minutes into the cooking of the broth, heat the oil in a pan and flavor it for a few minutes with the chili pepper and the clove of garlic in its skin. Add the prawns 11 and sauté for 1-2 minutes, then deglaze with white wine 12.

When the wine has completely evaporated, remove the garlic and take the prawns out of the pan, leaving the cooking base 13. Keep the prawns aside covered. Add the cherry tomatoes cut into quarters in the same pan 14 and cook for about 5 minutes 15.

In the meantime, the water will have come to a boil, so salt it and cook the pasta for half of its cooking time, because it will finish cooking in the pan. In the meantime, strain the broth. Drain the pasta very al dente and transfer it to the pan 16. Finish cooking the pasta by adding the broth little by little 17, as for risotto. Once cooked, add the prawns 18 and season with salt and pepper.
