Cook the Pasta
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Sauté the Shrimp

Add the Shrimp
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink, about 2-3 minutes per side. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Combine Ingredients
Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook until they soften, about 2 minutes. Add the cooked penne pasta and toss everything together.
Finish with Basil and Cheese
Remove from heat, and stir in the fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve
Serve immediately while hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and basil if desired.
