Hi, I am a German Chef and Food Photographer. The imparting of cooking knowledge is my great passion. Everyone can cook for himself and with this website I would like to contribute to its success. Cooking questions I answer you gladly at the end of the articles. Have fun and good luck!

Now I would like to present you my recipe Spaghetti with Prawns. A quick recipe and a feast for all the senses. I love shrimps… Now it has come out 😉 Shrimps are easy to prepare, rich in protein and low in calories and have a fine taste. In the perfect preparation the crustaceans are also optically a feast for the eyes. I am also a fan of fast preparations. This is especially interesting when the time window in the evening is small and the hunger is big. That’s why I don’t want to go into too much detail here, but go into the kitchen with you right away and we’ll get to work… Good luck and good appetite!

black pasta (Spaghetti al Nero di Seppia)
prawns
courgette
garlic
lemon
white wine
vegetable broth
salt, pepper, cayenne pepper and nutmeg
pomegranate

Spaghetti al Nero di Seppia can be found in Italian specialist shops or in well-stocked supermarkets.

2. My Pasta Preparation in the Process

I have written down a great sequence for you here, so that everything fits together wonderfully in terms of time and taste:

Fry the shrimps and dried shrimp shells over high heat with a little oil.
After about 3-4 minutes, remove the shrimps from the pan and place them in an extra pan.
Add the garlic to the shrimp shells (carcasses) and brown lightly.
Deglaze with white wine and pour in vegetable stock.
Simmer the shrimp stock for 15 minutes, season with the spices.
Remove the shrimp shells.
Grill zucchini in an extra pan, I like to use the ribbed grill pan for a nice zucchini pattern!
Add water for boiling and season with salt after boiling.
Cook the spaghetti in the pot until al dente, drain and drain well.
Swing the pasta in the prepared broth.
Heat the shrimps briefly in the pan and add them hot to the pasta on the plate together with the courgettes.
Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and serve.
Refined cooking like a professional is not difficult. The shrimp shells, also known as carcasses, develop a fine aroma through roasting, which then passes over to the stock when cooked!

If you use the step-by-step instructions below, you’ll loosely get the dish out of your wrist, I promise!

Ingredients

Spaghetti Preparation
350	g	Spaghetti al Nero di Seppia (or other spaghetti)
2	pc	cloves of garlic
30	ml	oliv oil
80	ml	white wine (I use dry white wine)
80	ml	Vegetable broth
1/2	pc	Lemon (I only use a little juice here to fine-tune the acidity.)
1	pinch	Salt (I use Himalayan salt)
1	pinch	Cayenne pepper
1	pinch	nutmeg (freshly grated)
25	g	butter
3	pinches	brown sugar (I use brown raw sugar.)
Prawns, Courgettes and Decoration
1	tbs	oliv oil
200	g	shrimps or prawns
some		Salt
some		Pepper
2	pc	courgettes (I love thin and small zucchini)
some		pomegranate seeds
1/2	bunch	fresh parsley (chopped)

Instruction

Place a large pot of water on the stove and bring to the boil. Place the pasta on top. Salt the water abundantly, pasta water may taste like sea water!

Separate 200 g shrimps from their shells.

Raw shrimp — remove the intestines from raw shrimp

Cut the shrimp finely at the top of the shrimp, if the shrimp has not yet been cut. The intestine is the black thread that is clearly visible. Remove the shrimp intestines.

Frying prawns — Shrimp and shrimp shells when frying

Fry the shrimps and shrimp shells in 3 tbsp olive oil in a pan. Remove the prawns from the pan and place them in the pan.

finely diced garlic cloves — Peeled fresh garlic and finely diced the cloves

Peel 2 fresh garlic cloves and dice finely.

Roast the garlic — Garlic roasted golden brown creates the typical aroma that we know from Italian cuisine.

Place the garlic in the pan with the shrimp shells and brown a little in olive oil to create light roasted aromas. This gives the dish the typical taste of alla spaghetti Aglio e Olio.

Prepare the pasta sauce with garlic and onions — Deglaze onions and garlic with white wine and stock and bring to the boil.

Add the white wine, vegetable stock, lemon grater and juice to deglaze.

Season the broth with grated nutmeg, cayenne pepper and salt.

Shrimp shells in the broth — Shrimp shells in the stock for spaghetti

Let the shrimp stock simmer for about 15 minutes. The taste of the roasted shrimp shells is transferred to the stock. Add a little butter and lemon juice to the stock, season to taste with a little sugar to taste.

Grill the zucchini — Fry zucchini in a grill pan

Clean 1-2 pieces of small, slender zucchini, halve and cut into oblique slices. Roast the zucchini slices in a grill pan to create a nice roasting pattern on the vegetables.

fried shrimp and fried zucchini — Fried prawns and grilled zucchini on extra plates

Take zucchini out of the pan to set aside the prawns.

Now put the spaghetti into the large pot with the boiling water as a whole. Cook the pasta al dente with the saucepan open.

Spaghetti in the pan — Swirl the pasta in the pan before serving.

Remove the shrimp shells from the pot. Place the spaghetti, cooked until firm to the bite, poured off and shaken dry, in the mixture of broth, garlic and white wine. Turn with a spaghetti tong, add freshly cut parsley and toss the noodles properly. Keep plates or bowls warm for serving.

Now use the heated plates. Take the spaghetti out of the bath and wind it up with a fork like a ball of wool.
Heat the shrimps briefly. Drape the zucchini and cover the spaghetti with the fried prawns. Garnish with pomegranate seeds and serve nimbly. Enjoy your meal!

Depending on the origin of the spaghetti, they lose some colour when cooked. Add some starch to the cold cooking water, the starch reduces the colouring of the black pasta.
