  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 red pepper chopped
  • 1 green pepper chopped
  • small carton of fresh mushrooms sliced
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 3-4 cloves garlic minced
  • small can of black olives sliced
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • small bunch of fresh parsley chopped
  • salt pepper, and seasoning salt (as desired)
  • 1 box angel hair pasta

Instructions
 

For the pasta

  • Put a large pot of salted, boiling water on the stove. Follow the instructions on the box for the cooking time. Drain in a colander and return to the pot. Keep warm.

For the asparagus

  • Add the asparagus pieces to a small amount of water and boil for 1 minute. Immediately drain and submerge into an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

For the shrimp mixture

  • In a large frying pan, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, onion, and peppers. Saute over medium high heat for 5 minutes.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan with the onions and peppers and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove the onions, peppers, and mushrooms from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same large frying pan, add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 4 tablespoons butter, and the minced garlic. Cook over medium low heat for 2 minutes.
  • Add the shrimp, white wine, and the juice of ½ lemon. Cook and stir over medium heat until all the shrimp have turned pink (about 5 minutes.)
  • Add all the cooked vegetables to the pan, mix together and season with salt, pepper, and seasoning salt, as desired.
  • Place the cooked pasta in the bottom of a large serving bowl and add the shrimp mixture, including all the pan juices.
  • Top with black olives, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley.
  • Serve immediately.
