1
Bring a pot of water to boil. Add olive oil & a little salt then throw in the squid ink pasta.
2
After about 2-5 minutes drain the pasta. (Depending on where you got the pasta from, it might be best to follow those instructions.
3
Season the shrimp with 1 tbsp. olive oil, 1 clove of garlic, some sea salt & black pepper, and squeeze half a lemon.
4
I used the same pot that I cooked the pasta in because I hate washing dishes, to cook the shrimp. I cooked the shrimp until it was slightly pink & got a little bit smaller. (about 5 minutes) Then I transferred the shrimp to another plate.
5
Add in the tomatoes & red peppers. The tomatoes will cook down into a little bit of a sauce & the red peppers will be firm but steamed.
6
Throw in the squid ink pasta, add 1tbsp olive oil, pinch of salt & black pepper, other half of lemon & throw in the shrimp. Mix well.
7
Plate the pasta & if you'd like to add mozzarella, this would but the time to tear it up & throw it on top.
