Step-by-Step Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the penne according to the package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta without rinsing.

While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until softened. Stir in the chopped garlic and mushrooms, season lightly with salt and black pepper, and cook until the mushrooms are browned and the onions are lightly caramelized.

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute per side, or until pink and just cooked through. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and set aside so they do not overcook.
