- Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes (or until the penne just has a small bite to it), stirring occasionally.

Notes
If you are using frozen shrimp, allow at least 20 minutes for thawing time. I like to run my frozen shrimp under cold water in a sieve for it to thaw.
