Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

20 large shrimp, deveined with shell and head left on
4 tomatoes, or more to taste
1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, divided
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 fresh red chile pepper, finely chopped
4 large cloves garlic, sliced, or more to taste
½ cup water
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon dried oregano
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon paprika
1 ⅝ pounds spaghetti

Steps:

  • Peel shrimp and place skin, heads, and tails into a large saucepan. Fill pan with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer, about 45 minutes.
  • Combine tomatoes and 1/2 the parsley in a blender; puree until smooth.
  • Heat olive oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and chile pepper; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Pour pureed tomato mixture into the pan with the peppers. Add water, tomato paste, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well; add paprika. Let sauce simmer on low to medium heat until juices have reduced.
  • Strain shrimp shells from the water. Bring water back to a boil and add spaghetti. Cook spaghetti, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water and drain the rest.
  • In the meantime, add shrimp to the tomato sauce. Add the reserved water, stir well, and cook until shrimp is pink, about 3 minutes. Plate spaghetti and spoon the sauce on top; garnish with the remaining parsley.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a great dish and I would definitely make it again with less chili flakes.
