  2. While shrimp is marinating, combing all remaining ingredients (except farfalle) in a large mixing bowl, tossing well to combine.
  3. Drain shrimp from marinade and bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Preheat grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.

  5. Add cooked shrimp to the mixing bowl of “sauce”, along with farfalle, and 1/3-1/2 cup of the cooking water.  Toss well to coat, adding more cooking water if needed .  Season with salt & pepper, to taste.  Plate individually or on a platter, and top with cheese.
