shrimp scampi with mushrooms


what a lovely dish i created on the fly. i got a pound of frozen peeled shrimp and thawed them. i sauteed garlic in olive oil, and then added the shrimp and cooked them for 2-3 minutes (until they just got pink) and then removed them from the pan. then i added about 1/2 stick of butter (that is a lot for my cooking style, but you could use more), chopped green onion, and mushrooms. i sauteed the mushrooms until they were yummy, and then added worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, pepper, cayenne pepper, salt, and BEER! (i used amber bock tonight.) i simmered all of that for 4-5 minutes, and then added the shrimp back in and made sure they were well covered in the sauce. then i served it over wheat penne pasta and BAM! wonderful goodness!
