Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until pasta is slightly cooled.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Bake in the preheated oven until shrimp are bright pink and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
