instructions
1. Bring a large pot of water and 2 teaspoons of salt to a boil. When the water boils, add the pasta. Cook the pasta until it's al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add the shrimp and let them brown, about 2 minutes per side. Add the snap peas and garlic and cook, 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup of the pasta water and simmer until the shrimp is cooked through, another 1-2 minutes. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauté pan. Add the basil and toss through. Stir in the parmesan.
