Toss shrimp with garlic and lemon and chill for 30 minutes.
Bring water to boil for pasta.
Heat EVOO over medium heat. Add shrimp, season and toss 3 to 4 minutes until almost done.
Meanwhile, drop pasta and undercook it in generously salted water, 1 minute less than package directions. Reserve ½ cup water before draining.
Add olives to sauce and stir a minute, then add gin, vermouth and olive brine and reduce. Add butter and pasta to sauce. Add parsley and use the starchy water, as needed.
Cheers!
