Shrimp Pasta

For this dish I use frozen raw shrimp and you just defrost them by running them under lukewarm water. It only takes a few minutes to defrost them, it is much more convenient than buying fresh shrimp. Once they are defrosted I add them to a saute pan with garlic, sliced onions, and olive oil. I cook the shrimp until they turn orange (about 3 mins each side) then I pour a bottle of pasta sauce over it. I let that simmer while I cook the pasta to al dente. At the end I mix some chopped fresh Italian Parsley in the sauce. It's always nice to add a fresh ingredient like Parsley or Basil to a sauce at the end. It gives it a much brighter flavor. Then just pour the sauce over the pasta and top with Parmesan cheese.
