Favorite Recipe of the Week

Shrimp and Mushroom Pasta

A craving for shrimp this week inspired me create this recipe. I wanted a cross  between shrimp scampi and shrimp in Alfredo sauce It got high marks from Mr. Adventure who had two helpings.  

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons garlic crushed

1 small onion finely chopped

2 cups sliced mushrooms

3/4 cup white wine

1/4 cup lemon juice

3 ounces cream cheese

3 tablespoons pesto sauce

3 tablespoons tomato pesto sauce

2 pounds peeled shrimp

Parmesan cheese to taste

Salt & Pepper to taste

16 oz angel hair pasta. 

Directions

1.  Cook pasta according to directions on package, toss with olive oil and keep warm. 

2.  Heat olive oil in skillet,  add onions, garlic, and mushrooms.  Stir over heat until mushrooms and onions are no longer crisp.  Add white wine and lemon juice, bring to a low boil.  Add shrimp.  Cook for 3 minutes before stirring.  Stir and cook shrimp till pink.  Lower heat and add cream cheese and both pesto sauces.  Stir slowly to incorporate cream into sauce without breaking up the shrimp. 

Serve over pasta, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
 Note:  We made a side of gluten free pasta--it is actually made of corn.  

We served this with fresh steamed broccoli and sugar snap peas.  Let me know if you try it--I would love to know if you like it as much as we do.
