Ingredients

  • 8 ounces angel hair pasta
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

  1. Cook the angel hair pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.
  3. Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

  8. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Add the cooked angel hair pasta and cooked shrimp to the skillet, tossing to coat them in the sauce.
