266. One of the easiest and delicious pasta dishes is my Pasta with Shrimp and Asparagus.
It's cheesy and creamy and everyone loves it.
I grate about a cup of Parmesan Cheese.
I bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pound of pasta. While the pasta is boiling, clean about 3 cups of shrimp and remove the shell, tails and vein. Set aside.
Next, I clean and cut a large bunch of fresh asparagus. Melt 2 Tablespoons of butter into a pan and add the asparagus. Salt lightly and saute till tender on medium heat.
When the pasta is just about done, I throw in my clean shrimp. They only take about 3 minutes to cook.
When the shrimp is pink and cooked, drain the pasta/shrimp.
Once the pasta/shrimp is fully drained, pour it back into the pot.
To the pot add 1/4 cup butter, 1 cup of heavy cream, salt and pepper, and 1 cup of grated parm cheese. Stir over medium heat till butter is melted and sauce thickens.
Plate the pasta and top with tender asparagus and a pinch of parm cheese.
It's the easy way to make alfredo sauce.
