1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
I medium-sized red pepper, deseeded and chopped
4 oz. button mushrooms, wiped clean and chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried basil

12 oz. frozen shrimps, thawed and shelled
3 3/4 cups boiling water
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
In a large, heavy frying-pan, melt half the butter with the oil over moderately high heat. When the foam subsides, reduce the heat to moderate. Add the onion, garlic and pepper and fry them, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent but not brown. Stir in the mushrooms, basil, salt and pepper.

Stir the rice occasionally with a fork. When the rice swells and the liquid is absorbed, add another one-third of the water. Continue cooking the rice in this way until the rice is tender and moist but still firm.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the remaining butter and the cheese. Turn the mixture into a warmed serving dish and serve at once.
