LAST SUNDAY'S SHRIMP SPAHGETTI

Ingredients...

Shrimp
Asparagus
Oyster Mushrooms
Green Onion
Garlic
Basil
Butter
Salt

Finely Shredded Parmesan Cheese

In a large bowl I threw in all of the ingredients. Shrimp, chopped asparagus and green onion.... Broke off pieces of oyster mushrooms just like you would while breaking crackers. I chopped a TON of garlic because I felt like it and melted about 1/4 cup of butter. Added a bit of salt and let it sit there to marinate for about an hour. I actually put it back in the refrigerator, normally I wouldn't because I believe the food should be at room temp but I did because of the shrimp. Maybe I didn't need too....

After about an hour I started to get the water to a boil for the spaghetti. And, at this time I have a large pan sitting on the burner at high heat. Everything in the bowl goes in. Note: No basil has been mentioned. But, at some point chop up a whole bunch and then set aside. Sauteed it all (except for the basil).... for awhile too. Like 20 minutes. It will be at the very end, 2 minutes till you are done sauteing that you will throw in the basil. THIS IS KEY WHEN COOKING WITH BASIL I HAVE LEARNED.

Spaghetti should be done at the exact time too. This time I decided to mix the pasta with with shrimp and vegetables instead of serving the pasta and then the vegetables/shrimp on top. Mix in your shredded cheese even though the Italians say absolutely no fish with cheese. Sorry Italians, it is GOOD.

And Voila!
