This is, indeed, an easy shrimp pasta recipe.
It can be prepared very quickly for unexpected company because you almost always have the simple ingredients on hand. Olive oil pasta recipes are like that.

I made this recipe for my family once after the kids had all rummaged through the kitchen and declared it free of anything good to eat. Ever after they viewed my cooking abilities with a certain awe. Enjoy.
