Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan. Sauté the sliced garlic until just before it turns brown. Add the shredded radicchio and sauté for 7-10 minutes.

Cook the pasta according to package directions, but remove from flame just before the pasta is al dente. Drain. Reserve some cooking liquid (¼ cup), set aside. 

Add some of the pasta cooking water (approximately (¼ cup) to the sauté pan and cook until tender, for another minute or so. Then, add the pasta that is 90 per cent cooked. Add the marinated shrimp and cook thoroughly.

When pasta and shrimp are cooked, serve immediately.
