Since the GDPR came in, the amount of recruitment spam has dropped dramatically for me

I respond to any recruitment spam with a GDPR request for all of the data they have on me, and a request to delete it after they've sent it. This has worked very well so far.

Interestingly someone pointed me to this company recently https://aevy.com/about/dataprotection who scrape public data and resell it to recruiters.

I downloaded the JSON document they had on me and it was pretty accurate. Again, public information so nothing surprising.

I opted out anyway

Do you know where I can find guidelines or a template on writing a GDPR request or do you (almost) literally just say hey please send me all the data you have, GDPR requires you do so if I ask and I’m asking thanks? (I’m in the EU)

I just say pretty much what you said, no formal template.
