Garlic Butter Mushroom Shrimp Pasta Recipe - quick and easy dinner idea with a ton of flavor. Juicy shrimp is simmered in garlic mushroom butter sauce and tossed with fettuccine. This dish is ready in just 15 minutes!
Another quick pasta dinner is my Spaghetti alla Carbonara, which you can serve with Crispy Parmesan Tilapia.
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!

Quick recipe, added cream cheese at the end, just for something different. Overall, we would give it a 4 out of 5. Maybe I should’ve have put the cream cheese at the end, but felt it needed to thicken up abit.
Cube says
Fantastic, simple and delicious! I used a mix of chicken broth and ramen broth in place of the chicken stock. Doubled the mushrooms and added fresh parm. Loved this!
Kristin says
I would really like this for dinner tonight but I only have mini salad shrimp instead of the bigger ones. Do you think it would still work out for the dish. I wonder how long I'd have to cook it for since they're so tiny. Probably about 30 seconds to a minute. I'm going to try it out and I'll report back to let you know how it went.
Cube says
Yes. the mini shrimps work excellent.
Jola says
Every bite of this delicious pasta lifts me a few inches above the ground. This is it!
Kathleen says
We loved this. It was easy to make and so good. My husband ate so much. I would make this again for sure.
Cat G says
This is not a 15min recipe unless u buy everything pre-cooked/processed. When you read through, it doesn’t tell you how much butter when, per step. I should’ve gone from my gut n just cooked like I normally do. I also added a bit of homemade Alfredo because it was very dry
Susan Murray says
Delish! I used white wine instead of chicken broth, and leeks instead of white onions because that is what I had on hand. All good.
Marcia says
Delicious! My only change was an extra clove of garlic, as I love garlic then when serving I did sprinkle on some fresh parmesan cheese. Will definitely make this again!
Anna says
Extra garlic is always a good thing in my book! Thank you for making my recipe, Marcia! I'm so glad it was a hit!
Cassie Stanford says
Delicious! So simple and the whole family enjoyed it. We added Parmaesan to serve.
Tina says
Loved this! Added Creole seasoning to the mix just to give it a little bit more kick with the garlic and oil.
Cathy Reynolds says
I changed it up a little. I used German eggs noodles. They are cut like Fettuccine. I add some chicken leg meat and the fresh chicken broth. At the end added parmesan cheese on toss sauce in the noodles. Wonderful!
Jerry B says
I'll give it a go Anna.
Anna says
I hope you enjoy it, Jerry!
Trish says
So easy to make but more importantly, delicious. Used fresh angel hair pasta, my favourite. Treated myself and was totally satisfied with the results. The Pinot Grigio was an excellent accompaniment.
Mike Ratajski says
This was really tasty! I love garlic so I increased the cloves to five. I cooked it according to your directions and sprinkled it with parmesan. I'd definitely make this again. It's simple and quick.
Anna says
Thank you so much, Mike! I am glad the pasta was a hit!
Theresa Capri says
This recipe was very good. I added frozen peas and sundried tomatoes and a squeeze of lemon juice. I think it would have come together even a little better if I would have had some sour cream on hand, just a spoon or two of it might have made it just a little better. I did add just a touch of spruce tip mayonnaise that I had made and it perked this dish up. All in all it was good and I would try it again if I have a little sour cream next time. Thank you for this recipe!!
Anna says
Thank you for making my recipe, Theresa!
