This is a decid­edly ​“fall” pasta dish. It uses a lot of fresh veg­gies, but with the brini­ness of the olives and the earthy sweet­ness of the raisins, it really hits those ​“warm days, cool nights” fall feel­ings. You can use any shrimp you like, but per­son­ally I love using gulf shrimp, they are ten­der and sweeter than other kinds of shrimp, and if you can find them they are def­i­nitely worth it. 

This dish will be best cooked with a medium-bod­ied, olive oil and then fin­ished by driz­zling some more fra­grant, spicier extra vir­gin olive oil over the plated dish. If you can’t find pecorino don’t worry just sub­sti­tute a nice Parmesan or Asiago cheese.
