  • fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. once the water is boiling, stir in the pasta shells, and return to a boil. cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 13 minutes. gently remove the shells with a slotted spoon. stuff 18 shells with about 1 1/2 tablespoon of the shrimp mixture, place them in the prepared baking dish, then cover each stuffed shell with another shell to enclose the filling.
  • melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. cook and stir the mushrooms and green onions until the mushrooms give up their juice, about 3 minutes. stir in the flour, white , salt, pepper, and half-and-half cream. cook, stirring often, until thickened and smooth. pour the sauce over the stuffed shells. sprinkle the top with parmesan cheese.
  • bake in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted and begun to brown and the sauce is bubbling, about 25 minutes.
