How to Make Bennigan's Ale House Shrimp And Pasta

Cook 1 pound pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add 8 ounces sliced mushrooms and 1/2 cup chopped onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes, or until lightly browned and softened.
Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in 1/2 cup ale (such as Guinness or a similar dark ale), 1 cup white sauce (recipe below), and 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened slightly (about 5 minutes).
Add 1 pound cooked shrimp and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until shrimp is pink and cooked through.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss gently to coat with the sauce. Add reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to loosen the sauce.
Serve immediately, sprinkled with 2 tablespoons chopped scallions and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
