This pasta dish is insanely mushroomy! If you’re a mushroom lover you’ll go nuts over this. If you love shrimp and pasta, you’re probably going even nuttier now.
I told my bff that every time I make something with mushrooms I think of her. She’s a major mushroom freak and she likes shrimp so she asked me to freeze some of this for her, but I’m a mean bestie and I didn’t do it. Bill and I ate it all by ourselves.
Oops. Sorry. Still love me? 
She claims that she doesn’t have a lot of talent in the kitchen (besides an amazing green bean and mushroom dish–can I please have that recipe btw?), but there’s really nothing to whipping this up, especially if you buy pre-cooked shrimp. Fresh shrimp is great, but sometimes I wonder if it’s worth the effort it takes to peel and devein it.
I really can’t stand the deveining part. Ultimately, I love fresh ingredients, so you’ll have to sell me on pre-cooked or frozen shrimp.
I think I’ve shared before that I’ve never really cared for mushrooms, but since I 
I LOVE MUSHROOMS!
There, I said it!
Now count how many times I said mushrooms in this post.
Mushrooms, mushrooms, mushrooms!

- 4 ounces whole wheat linguine (1/4 of a 1 pound package)
- ½ cup low sodium vegetable stock
- 8 ounces mushrooms, roughly chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- ¾-1 pound large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (if using pre-cooked peeled and deveined shrimp use 8-10 ounces)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ¼ cup fresh chives, chopped
- Boil pasta according to package directions. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable stock, mushrooms, and garlic; cook for 2-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add shrimp, salt, and pepper; cook about 1-2 minutes on each side or until shrimp is pink on the outside. If using pre-cooked shrimp, cook until heated through. Stir in butter and fresh chives and add cooked pasta. Toss to coat.

Rachael I love love love this recipe!! Although my consent was not requested prior to the posting of this article, I would appreciate it if you would add me in your ‘about me’ section of your website under the title: BFF. I will submit my picture to you shortly. I truly wish you would’ve taken my offer of $10 per dish to freeze me some, however I really do think this is the first dish I may be able to make with my limited kitchen skills and lack of ingredients!! Wait would you do $20? I love you and I love it and I’m so happy that I could inspire the dish.
You kill me GF! You need to start cooking on your own…lol. Although, $20 sounds pretty nice!
For a carb lover like me, this pasta looks insanely good. Wow, it’s loaded with shrimp and mushrooms and all that good stuff. I’m salivating.
Thanks Carolyn! Yeah, carbs are pretty much great aren’t they?! :p
Oh yes….this will be happening soon in my kitchen!
I was a bit confused by the directions so I decided to saute the garlic, mushrooms & shrimp prior to adding the stock. it turned out great. I just couldn’t see how anything would get sauteed when there was liquid added at the beginning of the process. did I miss something?
Hi, Martin! To answer your question – the directions are correct. Technically, Sautéing means to cook something in some type of fat, so I can see why you got confused. A lot of times though, I do cook my veggies in broth or stock to cut back on the amount of fat.
I hope this answers your question… either way, I’m happy it turned out great for you!
I made this just now for myself and my husband with a side of “In Yo’ FACE!” because when I told him I was making shrimp and mushroom and spinach pasta (I added fresh spinach) he said that it sounded like the ingredients did not go together. Then he put it in his face and said it was delicious, because of course it was. And I concur. Also very interested in this S.A.S.S. – going to check it out this weekend.
LOL. First of all… you’re awesome! Second, I love that you added spinach. I’ll totally do that next time.
I hope you get that book! It’s absolutely amazing. Thanks for your comment, Joanne!

I’m so glad you liked it, Heather! I really need to make this one again soon!
