While the pasta is cooking, combine all ingredients but the Parmesan and spaghetti in a food processor, and blend until smooth like a pesto.

Toss the spaghetti with the shrimp and the red pistou. Moisten with reserved pasta water as needed. Top with the herbed crumbs.

Heat the oil on medium heat in a nonstick skillet. Add the baguette crumbs, herbes de Provence, and salt. Toast until dry and crisp, stirring often.
