Preparation method

Cook the spaghetti al dente in at least 3 liters of boiling water with 20 g of salt. Drain the pasta, reserving about 80 ml of the cooking water.

Peel the shrimp, set aside the heads, and cut the shrimp meat into about 5 pieces.

Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Squeeze the shrimp heads into the oil, then add them to the pan. Roast for about 1 minute. Add the cut shrimp and fry for another minute, stirring frequently. Add a pinch of salt and most of the pepper, then pour in 40 ml of the reserved pasta water. Mix everything well. Remove and discard the shrimp heads from the pan.
