Equipment

  • deep skillet or pot I used my Our Place Pan
  • measuring cups / spoons
  • garlic press
  • rubber spatuala
  • cheese grater
  • strainer

Ingredients

  • 8 oz linguine
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen asparagus diced
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1.25 lbs raw shrimp
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan
  • 1/2 cup parmesan ribbons
  • 1/2 cup light butter
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley
  • 1 lemon juiced

Instructions

  • In a large skillet or stove pot (I used my OurPlace Always Pan), boil water for the noodles.
  • Once the water is boiling, add in some salt and the linguine. Cook it according to box instructions.
  • When there is 5 minutes left of boiling the noodles, add the frozen asparagus. If it’s fresh, wait until 3 minutes left.
  • Strain the noodles and asparagus once al dente and set aside.
  • Using the same pot, heat it to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter with minced garlic cloves. Saute until fragrant.
  • Pat the raw shrimp dry then add them to the pan. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. After 1-2 minutes flip the shrimp. And cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Once the shrimp is cooked through (pink throughout), turn down the heat to low. Add the linguine and asparagus back into the pan.
  • Top with shredded parmesan cheese, olive oil, light butter, and juice of lemon. Stir together, until butter is melted and all of the noodles evenly coated.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley, lemon wedge (and lemon zest if desired), cracked pepper, and remaining parmesan ribbons. Enjoy!!

Notes

If you want to speed up prep time, you can boil the noodles in another pan at the same time you start the shrimp. Yes, it’ll no longer be a one-pot recipe, but the pot you boil the noodles in can be cleaned with just a little rinse of water!
Store this dish in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 60-90 seconds until warm throughout. As the pasta sits, the noodles may soak up some of the sauce, so if your pasta seems dry, add a drizzle of olive oil before reheating.
