Shrimp Scampi With a Twist

• Large or Jumbo Fresh Shrimp (peeled, deveined and dried)
• 1/2 lb. Pasta of your choice (I used Farfalle)
• 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 2 T. Butter of Smart Balance
• 4 Cloves of garlic (I used 4 of my frozen garlic cubes as shown in earlier post)
• 1/2 cup Fresh Mushrooms (Baby Bella are the best)
• 1/2 cup Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes (drained)
• 2 T. Cooking Wine or White Wine
• Seasoned Salt (I use Tastefully Simple)
• Pepper
• 1 T. Parsley
• Red Pepper Flakes

Start boiling water for your pasta and add 1/4 tsp. salt to the water.

In medium saute pan, add Olive Oil and garlic.  Stir often while the garlic cooks.  Add your mushrooms, butter, seasoned salt, pepper, parsley and red pepper flakes, stirring often.  After about 2 minutes, add the shrimp.  Let shrimp cook on one side for about 1-1/2 minutes then flip over and cook another 1 minute.

 Add diced tomatoes and wine.  Let simmer on low until your pasta is ready.

Drain pasta, pour shrimp mixture on top and mix.  Serve with Italian grated cheese.  YUM!!!


This meal takes no more than 10 minutes to prepare and there is very little prep time.
