Ingredients

2 pounds uncooked de-veined shrimp
12 ounces any pasta shape, we used rotini
3 tablespoons butter
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Allow the prepared Romesco sauce to come up to room temperature (remove from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking this dish)
- Peel the shrimp and pat dry with paper towels.
- Heat a large pot of salted water to boiling and cook the pasta per box directions.
- While pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over high heat and melt one tablespoon of butter. Once melted, place a third of the shrimp in and cook a few minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Move to a platter.
- Wipe the pan and repeat with the remaining shrimp and butter, wiping the pan between batches.
- Once the pasta is cooked, drain then add back to the pan along with the cooked shrimp and a cup of so of the Romesco sauce.
- Pour into a serving bowl or portion into individual bowls and top with a little more Romesco sauce and chopped fresh parsley.
