Squid Ink Pasta With Shrimp

• 1 pound pasta squid ink, I purchased this at Eataly, it's about $8/lb.
• 1 lemon
• 1 pinch black pepper
• 1 pinch sea salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound fresh mozzarella optional - room temp
• 2 plum tomatoes seeded & diced
• 1 red pepper diced
• 3 garlic cloves sliced
• 1 pound shrimps tail on, deveined

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.
