Preparation

Step 1

Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Add the pasta and cook as directed, adding the green to the water. Drain and rinse under cold water. Transfer to large bowl.

Combine the shrimp, red pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp and cook until pink, about 3 minutes per side.
