  6. Add the shrimp to the simmering sauce.
  7. Cover and cook until shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 4-5 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh basil.
  9. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to combine, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
