Servings:4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed and chopped into thirds
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and de-veined, tails removed
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- ⅓ cup broth, chicken or vegetable broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon salt, more to taste
- cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1-2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 roma tomato, diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- grated parmesan cheese, to taste
- 8 ounces linguine noodles, cooked according to package directions
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add asparagus and sauté about 1-2 minutes.
- Add shrimp, butter, and garlic to the pan. Sauté 2-3 minutes until shrimp are mostly pink.
- Stir in broth, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Continue to stir occasionally over medium heat 4-5 minutes til sauce is reduced by about half and thickened.
- Stir in parsley, tomatoes, and lemon juice.
- Toss with noodles, top with a generous sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese, and serve.
Notes
The Noodles: you can use any favorite long noodle - I like linguine or fettuccine noodles here, but spaghetti or angel hair work great too.
The Veggies: not a fan of asparagus? No problem. Leave it out or swap it for another favorite vegetable like broccoli.
