At my favorite Italian restaurant, they had a shrimp basil cream pasta. I tried to imitate it with red shrimp and it turned out pretty well.

By cutting the shrimp head and cooking the shell you get a sauce with a nice thick flavor.
Remove the body from the shells and it'll be easier to eat.
When cooking the shrimp adding a bit of basil is also delicious. Recipe by Yukijirushi

Steps

1

Insert a knife into the shrimp belly and completely open the head and body. This will expose the veins, so remove them. Leave the tails. The back shell is connected.
2

Add olive oil and garlic to a frying pan and heat. Once fragrant, place the shrimp body-down on the pan and heat for 1 minute. At the same time begin to boil the pasta.
3

Add white wine and cook on high heat, cooking off the alcohol.
4

Add tomato sauce. Once it starts to bubble add some of the pasta water for a thick sauce.
5

Add the heavy cream. Once it starts to simmer, stop the heat.
6

Add your boiled pasta and toss with the sauce.
7

Transfer to a plate and top with the shrimp and the remaining sauce.
