Lemon Garlic Shrimp with Whole Wheat Pasta and Roasted Asparagus
Savor a vibrant combination of succulent shrimp, whole wheat pasta, and tender roasted asparagus, all brought together with a zesty lemon-garlic dressing. This dish is perfectly balanced for a light yet satisfying meal that delivers both flavor and essential nutrients.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
134 g Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
Pinch Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Arrange the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
While the asparagus roasts, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the whole wheat pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
In a large skillet, heat a small drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook on each side for about 2 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque.
Add the lemon juice and a pinch of red pepper flakes (if using) to the shrimp, stirring to combine and deglaze the pan slightly.
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet with the shrimp. If needed, add a splash of reserved pasta water to help mix the flavors.
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve the pasta and shrimp alongside the roasted asparagus, and enjoy the burst of lemon and garlic flavors.
