Method

7 steps · 45 min

01
Boil Pasta Water
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat.
02
Cook and Drain Pasta
Add the penne to the boiling water and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender but still firm to the bite. Drain the pasta well and set it aside.
03
Sear Shrimp and Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through, which should take about 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp from the pan and set them aside, leaving any oil and garlic behind.
04
Build the Sauce Base
To the same skillet, add the canned tomatoes, 1/4 cup basil, 1/4 cup parsley, and the red pepper flakes. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, to let the tomatoes break down slightly.
05
Simmer Cream Sauce
Pour in the white wine, clam juice, and heavy whipping cream. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 7 to 8 minutes, or until the sauce visibly thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
06
Combine and Season
Stir in 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, the cooked shrimp, and the drained pasta, along with the remaining basil and parsley. Toss everything together until the pasta and shrimp are evenly coated in the sauce. Give it a taste and season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
07
Finish and Serve
If you're using it, stir in the sliced pepperoni. Transfer the pasta to a large serving bowl, sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan, and serve immediately.
