Preparation

Step 1

*Cream Sauce*
1. in medium pot, melt butter over medium heat (Do not brown.)
2. add garlic, fry for 30 seconds
3. add heavy cream, stirring occasionally, bring to simmer
4. when sauce begins to thicken (~10 minutes) add white wine, grated parmesan, and garlic salt
5. continue stirring occasionally until cream is smooth and thick (~5 minutes)
6. Add cooked pasta, stir in completely, set aside

*Lemon Butter Shrimp*
1. In large skillet or wok, melt butter over medium heat
2. Add lemon juice and garlic, saute for 30 seconds
3. add onions, mushrooms, and shrimp, saute until shrimp cooked through

Serve creamy pasta topped with lemon butter shrimp and fresh grated romano.

_To save time, pasta, shrimp, and sauce can all be cooked at the same time. Start with pasta, while that's boiling, work on sauce. When sauce gets close to step #5, start shrimp. Cooking this way will cut time by about 15-20 minutes._
