INGREDIENTS
4 oz Shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 cup raw Asparagus spears
1 tbsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove minced Garlic
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, pat the shrimp dry. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes per side until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the asparagus and cook for about 4-5 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
Return the shrimp to the skillet along with the cooked pasta. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss to combine, ensuring the shrimp and pasta are evenly coated.
Season with additional salt and pepper if needed, and serve warm.
