Linguini With Shrimps and Veggies

Here is a recipe I made up once I had a few veggies to finish up.

INGREDIENTS
1 pound of frozen raw shrimps
3 small zucchini in thin slices
4 roma tomatoes cut in cubes
1 package of portabella mushrooms cut in four
a bunch of cilantro
3 cloves of minced garlic
1 medium chopped onion
olive oil
salt/pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS
  1. In a pot pour water and enough salt as if to taste ocean water. Add about 10 cilantro stems. Once the water is boiling add the frozen shrimps
  2. Place a pan on high with 4 soup spoons of olive oil
  3. Add the chopped onion, a few cilantro leaves and minced garlic and let it turn golden
  4. Lower the heat to let it simmer
  5. Add the zucchini and the mushrooms, mix from time to time
  6. Once almost cooked add the tomatoes and let it simmer 5 more minutes
  7. Remove the shrimps but keep the water in the pot
  8. Double the amount of water and a little olive oil to the pot and bring it to a boil
  9. Pour the pasta in
  10. While the pasta is cooking remove shrimp shells and add the shrimps into the pan.
  11. Once pasta is cooked, drain it then mix it with the veggies and shrimps
  12. Add a few more cilantro leaves on top of the pasta once in each plate
SUGGESTIONS
You can substitute the zucchini and mushrooms for any other type of vegetables.
