Pasta with Shrimp

To prepare the pasta with shrimp, first clean the shellfish. With a pair of scissors, remove the eyes, then detach the head from the shell 1 and shell the shrimp. Cut along the back of the shrimp 2 and remove the intestine. Set aside the head and shell as they will be used to prepare the bisque. Thinly slice the leek 3.

Halve the cherry tomatoes 4. In a pot, pour a dash of oil, add the leek, and let it stew for 5 minutes. Add the cherry tomatoes 5, the heads, and the shrimp shells 6.

Deglaze with white wine 7 and let the alcohol evaporate completely, then add the ice cubes 8 and the water 9.

Add the parsley stems 10, season with salt 11, cover with a lid 12, and cook over medium-low heat for 50 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a pan, flavor a dash of oil with the garlic, then add the shrimp 13 and sauté over high heat for 2 minutes. Deglaze with white wine 14 and let it evaporate completely, then transfer the shrimp to a bowl 15.

Blend the bisque with an immersion blender 16, then strain it through a fine mesh sieve 17. In the meantime, cook the pasta in plenty of salted water for 4-5 minutes 18.

Pour a ladle of bisque into the pan where you cooked the shrimp 19, then drain the pasta and transfer it to the pan 20. Finish cooking the spaghetti by adding a ladle of bisque at a time, as if it were a risotto 21.

Once the pasta is cooked, add almost all the shrimp 22, the pepper 23, the chopped parsley 34, and a dash of oil.

Toss everything together 25, then plate and garnish with the reserved shrimp 26. Your pasta with shrimp is ready to be enjoyed 27!
