Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ditalini pasta according to package instructions (usually 8-10 minutes), or until al dente.

Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Step 5
Pour the dressing over the pasta and shrimp mixture. Toss gently to evenly coat all the ingredients.
