Shrimp pasta is a first course that never goes out of style, but this time we want to offer you a truly exquisite version! Spaghettoni with raw shrimp encapsulate all the flavor of these crustaceans; the pasta is cooked in a rich and tasty broth and absorbs all its aromas! By using the shrimp scraps after cleaning, you will get an aromatic "broth" that you will use to finish cooking the pasta; while the shrimp meat will be added raw only at the end, a fresh touch to preserve their delicate flavor! Spaghettoni perfectly absorb this seasoning and are one of the most suitable pasta shapes for this dish!
