Ingredients

  • 1 pound of shrimp precleaned
  • 1 pound of asparagus cut into thirds, with the white stalk removed
  • 2 red peppers chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups of white wine
  • 6 tablespoons of butter

  • 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese
  • fresh parsley for garnish
  • 1 pound of pasta- spaghetti linguine, or angel hair

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta according to package directions.

While the pasta is cooking:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the asparagus, seasoning with salt and pepper and crushed garlic cloves. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Then add the pepper and cook 2-3 additional minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • Add the shrimp to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook approximately 90 seconds. Add the wine and the lemon juice, bring to a simmer. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes. At this time the shrimp should be pink on both sides.

Notes

I used gluten free spaghetti, but substitute whatever pasta you prefer.
