Description
This is a simple but tasty recipe from my friend Sade. She simplified several steps to make it a fast recipe. I loved it. It goes well with steamed vegetables such as broccoli, carrot and asparagus. White wine is a plus.

Notes
Like my other recipe the exact amount of each ingredients are up to your taste. For example, I love shirmp so I would use 1 to 1.5 pounds of shrimp for one pound, (one box) of pasta.
Angel's air is the the thinest boxed pasta. It cooks fast and great for this recipe.
The shrimp scapi sauce included oil, salt and other premixed ingredients to simplify cooking.
Pasta usually takes 10 to 20 minutes. I ususally stir in between to make sure they don't stick to the buttom of the pot. When in doubt I taste it before I take it out. When not sure, cook a little longer.
A lot of recipe book adds salt to pasta water. You can add Goya all purpose seasoning to add some flavor. but same idea.
Mixing the sause with the pasta is important. If your pasta tastes kind plain, you did not mix the sauce well enough.
