Great quick dinner! Substitute any fresh vegetable you like for the asparagus. Precook the veg in the microwave if it won’t cook in the 3-4 minutes it will be in the skillet with the shrimp. I guess you could even leave out the shrimp and add another vegetable if you want! Ingredients:
8 ounces pasta, any shape |
8 ounces fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut in 1 inch pieces |
1/2 cup onion, chopped |
1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped |
1 carrot, grated |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 celery rib, trimmed and sliced |
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes |
1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated |
2 tablespoons butter |
Directions:
1. Bring large pot of salted water to boil, and cook pasta al dente, according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water when draining pasta.
2. While pasta cooks, heat 1 TB olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion, pepper, and celery until softened. Add garlic, asparagus, and shrimp, and continue cooking until shrimp are pink, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to low. Add drained pasta, 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, 2 TB butter, and 1/4 cup parmesan. Cook and stir over low heat until sauce thickens.
4. Serve in pasta bowls.
