4 green onions, chopped (1/4 cup)
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
Additional 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese to top the pasta

Instructions

Cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain well and return to pan to keep warm.
In blender, place chowder, milk, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and garlic. Process until mixture is smooth.
In skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add shrimp, mushrooms and  green onions. Cook, stirring frequently, about 5 - 8 minutes or until shrimp are pink. Stir in red pepper flakes and soup mixture. Cook until the mixture is heated. Stir in parsley and salt and pepper to taste.
