Instructions
- Boil a large, salted pot of water for the pasta. Cook 8 ounces uncooked pasta according to package instructions.

Return the pan to the heat. Stir until the mixture is nice and smooth, and let it bubble for a minute or so.

- Add ¾ pound medium shrimp and cooked mushrooms to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked through and the sauce is thickened to your liking. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Drain the pasta and toss it with the sauce (add a little pasta water if you wish to thin the sauce). Serve with grated parmesan cheese if desired.
