A dreamy vacation to Portugal inspired this shrimp and salami pasta from recipe developer Shilpa Uskokovic. It’s pantry-friendly, takes under 45 minutes to prepare, and is packed with flavor thanks to supporting flavors like butter and wine. Use whichever salami fits your fancy—Uskokovic uses finocchiona, or fennel salami, for an extra kick. For glossy, saucy noodles, use a large pot to thoroughly toss everything together.
