  1. Cook the Pasta:
    • Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.
  2. Sauté the Tomatoes:
    • While the pasta is cooking, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt.
    • Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute, or until they start to soften.
  3. Add the Shrimp:
    • Add the cleaned shrimp to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn light pink and are cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Combine Ingredients:
    • Once the shrimp are cooked, add the cooked pasta to the skillet along with the reserved pasta water. Stir gently to combine everything, allowing the butter to coat the pasta evenly.
  5. Finish with Basil:
    • Stir in the chopped basil, mixing lightly to combine. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  6. Serve:
    • Serve the pasta immediately while hot, garnished with additional basil if desired.
