Steps
To make the pasta with zucchini cream, shrimp, and zucchini chips, dice one zucchini.
In a pot, pour a drizzle of oil and add the garlic. Place on low heat, and when the garlic is lightly golden, add the zucchinis and a few basil leaves.
If necessary, add a splash of water and cook until the zucchinis are soft. At the end of cooking, salt and remove the garlic.
Pour the zucchinis into the blender bowl and add the Parmesan cheese. Add a splash of water and blend until creamy.
Pour the cream into the pot where the zucchinis were cooked.
Wash and clean the zucchinis, slice them into thin rounds. Then fry them in a small pan with hot extra virgin olive oil and a few basil leaves.
When the zucchinis are golden, drain and place them on absorbent paper.
In the small pan where the zucchini chips were cooked, add the shrimp (previously cleaned and shelled) and sauté them.
Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water; once cooked (preferably al dente), drain and pour into the pan with the zucchini cream.
Stir for a few minutes, then incorporate the shrimp and chips.
If necessary, add some cooking water to blend the cream well with the pasta.
Serve and enjoy your meal!
