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
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan
- ½ cup parmesan ribbons
- ½ 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.
