Ingredients
- 8 ounces angel hair pasta, cooked al dente, reserve 1 cup pasta water
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups fresh baby Bella mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 ½ pounds medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails removed
- 1 ½ cups dry champagne
- 3 tablespoons small shallots
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
- salt and pepper, to taste
- freshly grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add about a tablespoon of salt to the boiling water. Cook the pasta al dente, according to package instructions.
- Drain the pasta, reserving a cup of pasta water to be used in the sauce. Set the cooked pasta and reserved pasta water aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil and butter.
- Add mushrooms and cook until tender, 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic, salt, and pepper and cook for one minute.
- Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl and set them aside.
- To the same skillet you cooked the mushrooms, add the shrimp and champagne. Cook over high heat until the champagne begins to boil, 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- After the liquid has come to a boil, use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked shrimp from the skillet. Add the shrimp to the bowl of mushrooms.
- Add the shallots and tomatoes to the skillet. Boil until the liquid (champagne) has been reduced to about ½ cup, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Pour in the heavy cream. Boil for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. If the sauce is not thick enough, add some reserved pasta water to it (starting with ¼ cup) until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Add the mushrooms and shrimp to the sauce. Cook until heated through. Add parsley. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the pasta on a plate and top with the mushroom and shrimp sauce. Serve garnished with additional parsley.
