Shrimp and Asparagus with a Louisiana Twist image

A twist on a recipe found on this site. Being from Louisiana where shrimp is plentiful and served often I really needed something new. Just found out how AWESOME and healthy asparagus is. Nice to have leftovers. If you want more shrimp, add more; I find the veggies fill the space, making it healthier.

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti (such as Dreamfields®)
¼ cup butter
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound asparagus, cut into pieces
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
4 shallots, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
⅛ teaspoon oregano
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  • Melt butter with olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir asparagus, red bell pepper, shallots, garlic, basil, red pepper flakes, and oregano in the butter mixture until the pepper is softened, about 5 minutes. Add shrimp and continue cooking until the shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, 3 to 5 minutes more.
  • Pour shrimp and vegetable mixture over the spaghetti and toss to mix. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the pasta mixture and season with salt and pepper.

This was the worst shrimp and asparagus dish I've ever had. The shrimp was rubbery and the asparagus was tough. The sauce was bland and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.
