Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Step 4

Toss shrimp and 2 tablespoons olive oil together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a glass baking dish.

Step 5

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

Toss pasta with dressing in a bowl. Add shrimp and scallions; season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and more pepper. Garnish pasta salad with Cheddar cheese and lemon slices.
