INGREDIENTS
8 ounces Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup chopped Fresh Asparagus
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
Juice of 1 Lemon
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Prepare the ingredients by peeling and deveining the shrimp and chopping the asparagus into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and squeeze the lemon to extract its juice.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the asparagus to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to become tender but still crisp.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp. Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Pour in the lemon juice and gently toss to combine with the shrimp and asparagus. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked whole wheat pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together to ensure the pasta is well coated with the lemon garlic mixture.
Serve immediately, enjoying the refreshing flavors and balanced macros of this light yet satisfying dish.
