Ingredients:

• 1 pound dry fettuccine pasta
• 2 Tablespoons butter
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic
• 2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 pound large shrimp (30-36 per pound) peeled and deveined
• 1 1/4 cups grated Parmesan cheese

Method

Cook fettuccine according to package directions, set aside and keep warm. Meanwhile heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat and saute mushrooms and garlic for 4-5 minutes. Lower heat to medium and add cream; simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and continue simmering for 5-10 more minutes until shrimp are pink. Place warm pasta in a large bowl and stir in sauce. Mix well and serve with additional parmesan cheese.

Notes: This dish is good enough for company, but so easy to make. I buy pre-sliced mushrooms and shrimp that is already peeled and deveined, so it takes mere minutes of prep time and effort for this dish. I've also used cooked shrimp and just tossed them in during the last few minutes of cooking time.
