Personal Notes:
*OPTION 1 – you can leave the shrimp on the bottom of the pot. This will reduce the chances of pasta getting stuck on the bottom. From this point proceed onto adding the pasta and liquids.

**IT IS CRUCIAL THAT YOU SEPARATE THE PASTA THE BEST YOU CAN, I found this step to be super important. Those who have taken the time to separate the uncooked pasta had greater success.

NOTES: original recipe called for 2 cups of broth, the new updated recipe asks for 3 cups of liquid. I have tried with 4 cups of liquid and it was soupy. Tasty but soupy.
The original recipe did not have garlic and many of you commented on that, so in the updated recipe I am adding 3 garlic cloves. So tasty!

Lastly, on the original recipe I had allowed for 5 mins of NPR and took that away because the pasta was a bit overcooked.
