1 12oz bag cooked shrimp

1/2 bag pepper and onion stir fry veggies

1 sm can mushroom pieces or

 1 fresh portabella mushroom cut into sm pieces

1 8 oz can diced tomatoes

sautee over medium heat for 10 min

add pepper and onion stir fry (1/2 bag)

Add garlic pepper and sautee for about 5 min

while these are simmering prepare string pasta by instructions add about 2 tbsp olive oil to water to prevent sticking.

To shrimp mixture add mushrooms and diced tomatoes and let simmer until pasta is done.

set a nice romatic candle light table for two

add a garden salad for starters with your favorite dressing.

Strain pasta and rinse with warm water to rinse off olive oil and place in a bowl or on plates.

Top with the shrimp and enjoy.

If you do not like shrimp you can substitute it for chicken cut up into sm pieces  but however you you choose to try it, I guarantee it will truly bring out the desires within.

Add a chilled glass of Boones Trail Wild Cherry Wine to enhance your evening.

For dessert I enjoy a nice 3 layer chocolate and cheese cake dessert. This is my own special recipe and is very rich but stimulating to the taste buds if you love Dirt Cake, you'll really like this one.
