Tips

The secret to great sautéed mushrooms is to add them to a hot, sizzling pan and do not touch them or salt them. Allow them to sauté on side one for three-four minutes over medium heat before flipping and sautéing on side two.

The best type of shrimp for this dish is large or extra large shrimp.

I love incorporating the pasta into the skillet with the vegetables and shrimp rather than to serve over pasta. It makes the pasta so much more flavorful!
