  Meanwhile lets start on the shrimp. While I sometimes cook them right in the sauce, if they have been frozen, they will release water into it that I do not really like the looks of. So I will saute the shrimp in olive oil until they are just turning pink. Then set aside. Wipe out the pan.

  In that same skillet, add the mushrooms with just a dab of olive oil and saute for 3-5 minutes, until they start to brown and smell wonderful. Set them aside too. Put the butter in the skillet to melt. Add the diced garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Add the wine and simmer for a minute or so. Toss in the peas, if using, the parsley, dried tomatoes, lemon juice, green onion, salt and pepper.
