This was such a good dinner! It's fancy enough for dinner guests and easy enough for a weeknight meal. I made a few changes to the recipe and used the following ingredients: 1lb linguine, 1/2 cup butter, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 cup half-and-half, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese, 7oz jar pesto sauce, 1 cup fresh mushrooms, 1 cup thinly sliced red peppers, 1.5lb bag frozen uncooked shrimp. I sauteed the peppers and mushrooms in a separate pan in a little margarine and set them aside, and then cooked the shrimp in the same pan for about 3 minutes with garlic powder and salt (do not overcook!). While I cooked the pasta I prepared the sauce and, once thickened (I used a little Wondra flour), added the cooked peppers, mushrooms, and shrimp. I then tossed the pasta in the sauce to absorb the flavor a few minutes on low heat. Once plated I topped it with little extra Parmesan cheese and served with hot garlic bread. My husband loved it!
