Step 1

Cook the pasta al dente in a large pot of boiling salted water. Stirring often.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, in a large frying pan add the olive oil, garlic, chopped parsley, shrimp, salt and hot pepper flakes. Cook on medium heat until shrimps are cooked and no longer pink approximately 5-6 minutes, if you use pre-cooked shrimp then cook for only 1-2 minutes, but watch them and stir occasionally, because you don't want them to burn or stick to the pan.

Step 3

When shrimps are cooked, add the cooked al dente pasta and ¼ cup (60 grams) of pasta water, cook on high heat tossing together until the water has evaporated approximately 1 minutes, almost becoming a creamy mixture, serve immediately topped with fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!
