Sautéed Shrimp and Mushroom Pasta

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 S.A.S.S.’ed myself slim- my whole outlook on fresh veggies has changed.  I hate to admit it to my husband after years of withholding mushroom love from him, but I will now go on record and say…

I LOVE MUSHROOMS!

There, I said it!

Now count how many times I said mushrooms in this post.  :)

Mushrooms, mushrooms, mushrooms!
