Recipe Questions
- → Can I substitute rosemary with another herb?

Penne is recommended for its shape and ability to hold sauce, but other short pastas like fusilli or rigatoni are also suitable.

Frozen shrimp can be used; make sure to thaw, rinse, and pat them dry before cooking for best texture and flavor.
