Pasta with Shrimp and Green Peas

This dish is delicious and easy! 





7 oz pasta of your choice, cooked (do not drain the water from pasta, you will need it later)
8 oz medium shrimp, peeled and deveined 
1 onion, roughly chopped
3 oz peas, defrosted 
6 peeled plum tomatoes, chopped
1 garlic clove, finely diced
1 tsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste


1. Heat olive oil over medium heat, add onions, salt and pepper to taste, when onions are soft, add garlic. Cook until golden. Set aside.
2. In the same skillet, melt butter over high heat, when butter starts to sizzle add shrimp and cook for 1 min on each side until pink in color, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
3. Cook peas for 2 mins, until heated through and hot inside. Set aside.
4. Over medium heat, cook the tomatoes until thickens a little, salt and pepper. Add onions, shrimp and peas to the tomatoes, cook for 1 min. Add pasta, and 2/3 cup of pasta water ( if needed add some more, you do so to add creaminess to the dish). 
5. Serve with shredded Parmesan on top.
