How To Make pasta shells with shrimp & garlicky bread crumbs

1
FOR THE BREAD CRUMBS: In a medium nonstick frying pan, heat the 2 Tbsp oil over moderate heat. Add the bread crumbs, garlic & 1/8 tsp each of salt & pepper & cook, stirring frequently, until golden, about 5 minutes.

2
FOR THE PASTA AND SHRIMP: In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta shells until almost done, about 10 minutes. Add the shrimp to the pot & cook, stirring occasionally, until both the shrimp & the pasta shells are done, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Drain thoroughly.
3
FOR THE DRESSING: In a large glass or stainless-steel bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, anchovy paste (if using), worcestershire sauce & 1/4 tsp each of salt & pepper. Add the remaining 1/2 C oil slowly, whisking.
4
TO SERVE: Add the pasta & shrimp, the curly endive, & the 1/3 C parmesan to the dressing & toss. Serve the salad warm or at room temperature, topped with the garlic bread crumbs & the remaining 2 Tbsp parmesan.
