Shrimp Ala Bina

This is perfect for a dinner party.

Ingredients:
Pasta
green peppers...red or yellow or combo of all
mushrooms
broccoli
garlic
white wine
butter
broth
onion 1 small

While cooking 1lb of spaghetti or linguine...

In a big pan or wok style pan..

Put olive oil in pan .about 1/4 of a cup.. Saute some garlic...then onion and gr, red, yellow peppers or whatever you wish..... Then add 1/4 cup of white wine and 1/4 cup of chicken broth or you can use bouillon if you want for more flavor. (2 cubes in half cup of boiled water). in the mean time..Blanch a head of broccoli and put on the side. Add mushrooms to the simmering peppers, onion .etc.. after all of this looks well simmered ..add 1/3 stick of butter...then add the broccoli...1lb of shrimp cooked ( large or med). I season with pepper..a little Italian seasoning. If needed add a little more wine or broth. After you put everything together..I like to thicken just a little with cornstarch and water..about 1/4 cup but only add what is needed for a slight thickening... Pour on top of pasta in a big pasta bowl.. It's a very attractive presentation and very tasty too.. Serve with a nice Chardonnay.. Serves 4
