8 oz angel hair pasta, cooked

Combine the salad dressing and cheese, set aside.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat; add mushrooms. Cook stirring constantly, 2 minutes. Add shrimp and garlic; cook 3-5 min. or until ship turn pink, stirring often. Drain excess liquid.
Combine hot cooked pasta, salad dressing mixture, shrimp mixture, red pepper strips, basil, and pepper in a large bowl; toss gently. Serve immediately.
