Instructions Begin by heating a large saute pan over medium/high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When olive oil is fragrant add onion and saute for 2-3 minutes.

Finally, heat butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat in the same saute pan as before. When olive oil is fragrant, add shrimp. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for one minute and add the rest of the vegetables to the pan. Mix the shrimp and veggies together, cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes over medium heat.
