🙋 Recommended for

  • Those seeking a luxurious oil pasta with deep umami flavor
  • Home cooks eager to try restaurant-style fine dining pasta dishes

Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • Spaghetti noodles 90g
  • Shrimp 5 pieces
  • Garlic 4 cloves
  • Olive oil generously
  • Parmigiano Reggiano cheese to taste
  • Pecorino Romano cheese to taste
  • Black pepper a pinch
  • Orange 1 piece

Recipe 🍳

  1. Remove the shrimp heads and peel off the shells, then remove the intestinal tract on the back side and prepare the shrimp.
  2. Place generous olive oil in a pan, add the shrimp heads and shells, and simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes while gently crushing the internal organs to extract the oil.
  3. After removing the shrimp heads and shells, add more olive oil to the infused oil, then add sliced garlic and sauté over low heat to release its aroma.
  4. Boil the spaghetti noodles in salted water for about 9 minutes.
  5. Once the garlic aroma rises, add the cooked noodles, shrimp meat, and pasta water, then shake the pan to create a smooth emulsion (mantecato).
  6. When the shrimp meat is cooked through, grate in the cheeses and sprinkle with black pepper, mixing lightly.
  7. Transfer the pasta to a plate, grate fresh orange zest over it, and serve evenly.
  1. Separate shrimp heads, shells, and meat; remove the intestinal tract.
  2. Simmer shrimp heads and shells in olive oil over low heat to make shrimp-infused oil.
  3. Sauté garlic in the oil, then add noodles, shrimp meat, and pasta water to form an emulsion.
  4. Mix in cheese and pepper, then finish by sprinkling orange zest.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Garlic burns quickly if the heat is too high, so always cook it over low heat.
  • The final addition of orange zest is key—it cuts through the richness of the oil pasta, adding a refreshing balance.
