Notes

Use fresh shrimp.Frozen shrimp work in a pinch, but fresh shrimp will make the dish stand out with flavor.
Don’t overcook the shrimp.Shrimp cook very quickly—overcooking will make them rubbery. Keep a close eye on them!
Stir the pasta midway.This prevents the noodles from sticking and ensures they cook evenly.
Use freshly grated Parmesan.Pre-grated cheese won’t melt as smoothly and can make the sauce grainy.
