In a small bowl combine the mushrooms and water. Set aside to soak for 20 minutes.

In a large skillet, heat the butter and Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil over moderate heat and add the onion, shallots, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 8 minutes. Add the bell peppers, mushrooms and their liquid, salt, and pepper and sauté until the peppers are softened but not cooked through. Increase the heat to moderately high; add the wine and cream and reduce to thicken. Reduce the heat slightly and add the shrimp, simmering until they are firm and pink, 3 to 5 minutes - do not overcook. Add the parsley and serve with Parmesan on the side.
