Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, cook just until fragrant 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add in tomatoes and cook 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and slowly add cream. Simmer for 15 minutes or until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Add in shrimp. Simmer 5 - 7 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked through.

Notes
To lessen the prep time, I like to buy easy peel shrimp. This means that they've already been deveined for you. It makes things SO much faster. Nutrition facts for estimation purposes only.
