Garlic butter and mushrooms are most definitely one of my favorite flavor combos. Just the smell of garlic and mushrooms sauteing together in butter makes you hungry and you know the dish will be delicious. Point in case, my Garlic Butter Mushroom Pork Chops. The reviews prove that this combo works every time. Why not with seafood? Shrimp is absolutely fantastic with sauteed mushrooms. Add garlic butter to this combo and the whole dish is transformed into a flavor party!

Any kind, really. We love fettuccine but you can use linguine, spaghetti, penne, bow tie, etc. Whatever you like, will work. You could also serve the garlic butter mushroom shrimp sauce over vegetable noodles (like zoodles) or over mashed potatoes or cauliflower.

    We just made this in Copenhagen. We had an important guest over and needed to make something quick so this was our choice. The prawns were large, frozen and with tails but that was not a problem. There was a good amount of juice from the prawns and mushrooms which we reserved and later used as broth. We added mascarpone and spinach and it was delightful. We will definitely make it again. Yum!!!!!
