Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta with Asparagus
Sautéed shrimp and crisp asparagus tossed with whole grain pasta in a silky garlic-ghee sauce finished with a bright squeeze of lemon.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz shrimp
1.5 oz whole wheat spaghetti
1 cup asparagus
0.5 tbsp ghee
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.
While pasta cooks, trim the woody ends off the asparagus and cut into 1-inch pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the asparagus for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Add the shrimp to the skillet along with the ghee, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque, being careful not to overcook.
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta water, and add both to the skillet.
Toss everything together with the lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley until well combined.
