Ingredients
  • 1/2 lb angel hair pasta
  • 1 lb or 1 bundle aparagus rinsed
  • 3 Tbsp butter, divided
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 1/2 tbsp)
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined 16-20 count
  • 1 to 2 tsp fresh lemon juice or lemon juice concentrate
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt, divided
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • grated parmesan
Servings:
Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add 1 tsp salt and 1 Tbsp olive oil and cook pasta according to package instructions and desired doneness. (Continue with recipe.) Drain pasta, return to pot and cover to keep warm.
  2. Trim asparagus to remove fibrous ends. The quickest way is to snap the ends off. Cut asparagus into halves or thirds.
  3. Pace a large, deep skillet over medium/high heat and add 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter. Add asparagus, season lightly with salt and pepper and cook uncovered for 5-7 minutes until crisp tender; stir occasionally. Remove from pan.
  4. In the same hot skillet, add 2 Tbsp oil and 2 Tbsp butter. Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic and saute', stirring frequently for 1 minute. Add shrimp in a single layer and season with 1 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. black pepper.
  5. Saute' until shrimp are pink and not translucent (about 2 min per side) Be careful not to overcook or shrimp will get tough.
  6. Add lemon juice if desired. Turn off heat and return pasta and asparagus to the pan. Toss everything to combine and serve with grated parmesan.
Recipe Notes
  1. The recipe really calls for spaghetti, but we love angel hair pasta and it's perfect in this dish.
  2. The prep for this recipe is a breeze. Here's a hint about the shrimp. I buy the large bag of uncooked jumbo shrimp at Sam's Club. I keep it on hand and the package contains 31-40 shrimp. I thaw what I need and trim the tails.
  3. The lemon juice is totally up to you. I use a splash or two and that's it.

      You are welcome Nancy. It is delicious. I had a friend make it using spaghetti squash–a healthier option, and she said it was delicious.

    I made this delicious recipe, but substituted spaghetti squash for the pasta to cut down on carbs and fat. It was soooo good! Thanks for posting Mitzi!

Happy 2021 friends! I’ve been thinking back over Happy 2021 friends! I’ve been thinking back over 2020 and all that we have experienced. Some good, some not, some sad, and the rest we’ve learned to adapt to. Each of us have in some way been touched by tough times, grief, and challenges. On the other hand we’ve also been given the moments to appreciate and love our families, spend time with those we love, enjoy a slower pace, and appreciate what’s important and what’s not.  What we do going forward is simple: Spread love and kindness everywhere we go, be grateful for a God who is always right there with us, trust God always, and make sure your hope and joy is rooted in Jesus and His promises.  Wishing you good health, love, joy and peace in the new year! Onward my friends! Onward!  #newyear #grateful #2021 #onward #bebrave #courage #believe #joy #hope
“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and p “Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.” – Romans 15:13

I came across these words because they bring comfort and they remind me that God is in control. 
“The Bible is filled with verses that can bring peace in the middle of struggles, worries, and fear. If we ask God, He promises us HIS peace "that passes all understanding"! When we take time to step back from the pressure of life and come into the presence of God, He is able to speak promises of hope and comfort over our circumstances.” #peace #love #jesus #merrychristmas  #joy #seekpeace
