Boil the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve a cup of the pasta water, then drain the rest and set the pasta aside.

Cook the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet. Sprinkle the jerk seasoning and smoked paprika over the top. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

Combine it All: Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet with the shrimp and sauce. Stir gently to coat every single piece of pasta. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
