“Pasta, seafood and aromatic spices – does it look like a dream come true”
INGREDIENTS
- shrimp – 12 – 14 pcs. (fresh, unpeeled)
- mussels – 14 pcs. (black, with shells)
- spaghetti – 8 oz (220 g)
- garlic – 2 cloves (large)
- olive oil – 5 – 6 tbsp.
- brandy – 2 tbsp (30 ml)
- salt – by taste
- basil – a few fresh leaves
HOW TO COOK
Peel the shrimp, but keep their heads and discard the remaining peels. Crush the garlic with the wide part of a knife without peeling it.
Put the spaghetti to boil according to the manufacturer’s instructions, by leaving them preferably al dente.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over a moderate to high heat and cook the shrimp for seconds on both sides, until they change color – from transparent grayish to orange. Remove them and add the heads with the crushed garlic cloves.
Squeeze everything to release an essence, which will add the most wonderful taste to our spaghetti. After a minute, pour the brandy and wait for it briefly to reduce. You can also flambé if you like.
