Course: Lunch/Dinner

Prep Time: 20 min

Cooking Time: 10 min

Servings: 4

 

  • ¾ pound pasta
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp (raw)
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • 2 small shallots, sliced
  • ½ tsp crushed red pepper
  • 1 large bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces

METHOD

Step 1

Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Reserve ¾ cup of the cooking water and drain the pasta.

Add the shallots and red pepper. Cook, tossing frequently, until the shallots are crisp-tender, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the asparagus and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the pasta, butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and ½ cup of the reserved cooking water to the shrimp and asparagus and toss to coat. (Add more cooking water as needed to loosen the sauce.)
