Heat the bacon fat and olive oil together in a large skillet. Add garlic, mushrooms, green onions, and roasted peppers, and saute till all are soft.
Add the ham, basil, crushed red pepper, white beans, shrimp, Creole seasoning, salt and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the pasta and toss with the saucepan ingredients until well mixed and heated through.
Serve in a soup bowl with chopped flat-leaf parsley. Parmesan cheese is optional.
