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.

Now count how many times I said mushrooms in this post.
Mushrooms, mushrooms, mushrooms!
