How to Make Shells With Mushrooms And Shrimp

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
  4. Increase heat to medium-high. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
  5. Add shrimp to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
  6. Stir in chicken broth, salt, and pepper.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
  8. Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss to coat.
  9. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to loosen it.
  10. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese and parsley.
  11. Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
