Recipe:

We begin to prepare the dish starting from the prawns that will have to be completely shelled, first removing the head and then the carapace including the tail. Later on helping with a toothpick, we eliminate the bitter and rich gut casing, or we can eliminate it by making an incision along the whole body of the shrimp with a small knife. At this point, in a saucepan, we begin to prepare a broth with shrimp scraps: brown a crushed clove of garlic with a little oil, add the shrimp shells and let it brown. Add the parsley stems, cover with cold water and leave to cook on a low flame until it has reduced by about half. Meanwhile, prepare the courgettes: wash them, divide them in half lengthwise and slice them to a thickness of about 2-3 millimeters. In another pan heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil, crush a clove of garlic and let it brown, then add the courgettes, salt to taste, mix everything and let it cook with a lid over medium heat until keep around 15 minutes. In a second larger pan we fry the chopped garlic with 2 - 3 tablespoons of oil and a pinch of chilli; add the prawns and let it brown, add a tablespoon of chopped parsley and immediately wet with a little broth. Let's partially evaporate and add the zucchini, let them season for a few minutes and then turn off the sauce. Cook the pasta in abundant boiling salted water, drain it al dente and pour it into the pan with the hot zucchini and shrimp sauce. Add a ladle of cooking water and sauté until all the ingredients are well mixed together. Serve the pasta with hot zucchini and shrimp, and with a light sprinkling of chopped parsley!
