Step 1

SHRIMP STOCK: Combine the shrimp peels, water, parsley, peppercorns, and 6 whole cloves of garlic, a big pinch of salt in a stockpot. Allow the stock to come to a boil, then lower the heat and let simmer for an hour. Strain the stock through a strainer.

Step 2

SHRIMP: Pat down with paper towel, sprinkle with baking soda. Cook shrimp, 2 minutes a side with oil

Step 3

SIMMER: In a saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Don't let the pan get too hot. Slice the remaining 6 cloves of garlic into slices. Add the garlic along with the red pepper flakes to the oil and allow the garlic to sizzle for about 1 minute. Add wine and let reduce by half. Add ¾ cup of shrimp stock and bring to a simmer before adding in all the tomatoes. Stir to combine and when the tomatoes start to simmer, season with salt and black pepper. Cover, lower the heat to low and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the lid, raise the heat back to medium, and continue to cook for until the sauce thickens (5-15 minutes).

Step 4

FINISH: Add the butter and stir it in so that it just melts into the sauce. Check for seasonings, season with additional salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Add the prepared pasta and toss. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little bit of the remaining shrimp stock to thin. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and parmesan cheese before serving.
