Instructions



1. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil with the 1 tablespoon salt. Cook the pasta until al dente -- about 3 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
   
   
2. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large stainless-steel skillet. When hot, add the shrimp and saute for about a minute, turning once.
   
   
3. Add the garlic, crushed red pepper, parsley, green onions, and mushrooms. Cook about another minute.
   
   
4. Add the wine and seafood stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to a light sauce consistency, then remove from the heat. Whisk in the softened butter.
   
   
5. Add the pasta to the pan and toss it around with the sauce and shrimp. Serve, garnished with fresh oregano and fresh chopped parsley.
