Método · 40 min
- Twist the heads off the shrimp and remove the shells, leaving the tails on. Set the shells and heads aside. Cut the peeled shrimp along the back and remove the dark guts. Then wash and dry them on paper towels.
- Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package instructions. Drain and reserve a cup of the cooking water.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat and gently fry the shrimp heads and shells for 5 minutes. Then remove them, trying to leave as much oil in the pan as possible.
- Add the garlic and chilli flakes to the oil. Fry gently so that the garlic does not brown. Add the cleaned prawns with a pinch of salt and fry until pink. Then add enough cooking water to the pan to make a sauce and stir. Stir in the parsley and serve. Photo and recipe taken from Olive Magazine/Immediate Media.
