INGREDIENTS:

1/4 pound unsalted butter (1 cube), divided
1/4 cup green onion, finely diced
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
2 tablespoons red pepper, seeded, deveined and chopped
2 tablespoons green pepper, seeded, deveined and chopped
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon dried basil
3/4 pound medium to large shrimp, peeled and deveined

6 tablespoons chicken broth, divided

TO PREPARE:

In a large sauté pan over medium heat, melt half of the butter. Add onions, garlic, peppers and seasonings and sauté until ingredients soften, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Stir in shrimp and cook 1 minute or until shrimp turn pink on both sides.

Add mushrooms and 1/4 cup of broth to shrimp and stir. Add remaining butter, parsley and remaining broth. Cook until sauce thickens slightly.

Serve immediately over pasta or rice.
