1 medium tomato, diced

salt and pepper

1. In large pot of boiling water, cook pasta until tender but firm; drain and return to pot.
2. Meanwhile in a large skillet, heat 1/2 tbsp of the oil over high heat; stir fry zucchini and mushrooms until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to bowl.
3. In skillet, heat remaining oil over high heat; cook shrimp and garlic, stirring, for 3 minutes or until shrimp is opaque. Add tomato and cook for 1 minute.
Add shrimp and zucchini mixture (including all liquids) to pot with hot pasta. Add parsley, cheese, lemon juice; toss to mix. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Sounds great. And, if you are going sort of low carb, you could omit the pasta and increase the zucchini. Yum!
