JUMBO SHRIMP WITH ASPARAGUS



Jumbo Shrimp With Asparagus image

Got this recipe from another online site and love the combo of shrimp and asparagus, add the ginger and what's not to like. I do add garlic and some chopped shallots to the mix to but as the original recipe didn't have it left it out. The best part is how simple and fast it is, I served over angel hair pasta but think it would be just as good with rice. There's not a lot of sauce with this, so if you like a lot this may not be for you - but the flavors are so good

Tips:

  • Choose large, fresh shrimp. Jumbo shrimp are typically between 21 and 25 per pound, and they should be firm and have a slight briny smell.
  • Devein the shrimp if necessary. To devein shrimp, make a shallow incision along the back of the shrimp and remove the dark vein that runs through the center.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy.
  • Use a flavorful marinade to add extra flavor to the shrimp and asparagus. A simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs is a great option.
  • Serve the shrimp and asparagus immediately after cooking. This will ensure that they are at their best flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Jumbo Shrimp and Asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The shrimp and asparagus are cooked to perfection and tossed in a flavorful sauce. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
