This was inspired by one of my favorite restaurant pasta dishes. I keep the lemon separate until the end due to a picky family member, but you could add it earlier if everyone likes lemon. Do not use pre-cooked shrimp and don't overcook the shrimp.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Cook the Shrimp Properly: Overcooked shrimp can become tough and rubbery. To prevent this, cook the shrimp for just 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque.
  • Don't Overcook the Asparagus: Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, but not mushy. Cook it for 2-3 minutes, or until it is bright green and slightly tender.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, and thyme, can add a lot of flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
  • Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if you let it sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This angel hair pasta with shrimp and asparagus is a light and flavorful dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The combination of shrimp, asparagus, and angel hair pasta is delicious, and the creamy sauce adds a touch of richness. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish at home and enjoy a restaurant-quality meal in no time.
