Shrimp And Vegetable Spaghetti
- 12 oz. spaghetti
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 3-inch julienne strips
- 1 each: large red and green bell pepper, cut into 3-inch julienne strips
- 6 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium yellow summer squash, cut into 3-inch julienne strips
- 1 medium zucchini, cut into 3-inch julienne strips
- 24 jumbo shrimp (about 1 1/2 to 2 lb.)

- 2/3 c. heavy cream
- 2 c. fresh basil, cut into julienne strips
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta, stirring once, until the spaghetti is tender, but still firm, about 8 minutes.
