This dish has its roots in Italian cuisine, where the marriage of fresh seafood, seasonal vegetables, and pasta is celebrated. Renowned chefs like Giada De Laurentiis and Lidia Bastianich have popularized this dish, infusing it with their own unique twists. The best versions of this dish can be found in coastal regions where fresh seafood is abundant, such as the Amalfi Coast in Italy or the coastal towns of Greece. The key to perfecting this dish lies in using high-quality, fresh ingredients, especially the shrimp and asparagus. Additionally, the balance of garlic and butter is crucial to achieving the signature flavor profile.
