The first and last weeks of our stay in Marco Island are being spent with my sister and her husband. Since my sister is allergic to shellfish, we ate separately last night but the dish was less vibrant than usual due to a lack of red pepper flakes. I sauteed the mushrooms, onion and garlic and added the snowpeas to steam and finally the shrimp. We finished the dish by combining the pasta with the shrimp and vegetables and adding some parsley, arugula, chicken stock and pasta water. It was topped with green onions.
