Here is my professional process Shrimp Paccheri (Il Fumetto): I never waste flavor. I boiled the shrimp shells and heads over low heat to create a rich seafood stock (fumetto).
โThe Base: Sautรฉed garlic, chili, and melted anchovies in extra virgin olive oil. The anchovies are the secret for that deep Mediterranean savoriness.
โThe Sauce: Added fresh ‘del Piennolo’ cherry tomatoes. Once the flavors combined, I added the shrimp, seared them quickly, and deglazed with a splash of dry white wine.
โThe Risottatura: I finished cooking the pasta in the pan for the last 5 minutes, adding the shrimp stock gradually. This creates a natural, velvety emulsion with the pasta starch.
โThe Finish: Off the heat, a handful of fresh parsley and a final toss (spadellata) for the perfect shine.
โNo cream needed when you have a good stock! More traditional secrets in the link on my profile bio. ๐ฎ๐น
