- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lb shrimp, (peeled and deveined)
- 10 oz white mushrooms, (sliced)
- ⅓ cup basil pesto
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
- 4 garlic cloves, (minced)
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ cup dry white wine, (plus more if needed)
- ½ cup sodium free chicken broth, (adjust salt if not sodium free)

Pasta:

Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Put shrimp in a mixing bowl and rub in seasoning mixture.
- Mix well to make sure shrimp is coated well. Add to the hot pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, turning once midway, until shrimp is pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp from the skillet.
- Add second tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Once the pan is hot, add sliced mushrooms and ¼ teaspoon of salt and cook, stirring, until mushrooms release liquid and reduce in volume and get soft, for about a minute or two.
- Add minced garlic for the last few minutes, when mushrooms are almost ready. Next add wine, onion and garlic powders. Cook for 1-2 minutes and then add back the cooked shrimp.
- Add pesto and parmesan, and stir. Finally, add the stock and allow to reduce, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- In the meantime, bring a large pot of water to boil, add pasta and cook it according to instructions. Drain the pasta, but do not rinse.
- Add pasta to the skillet and stir until pasta is fully coated in sauce.
- Allow to warm for 2 minutes, and then portion and serve. Season with more salt and additional red pepper flakes, if desired.
