Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 oz of linguine pasta
- 1 lb of large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup of chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cook the linguine pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Add the asparagus and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce the sauce slightly.
- Add the cooked pasta and shrimp to the skillet, tossing to coat everything in the lemon garlic sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
