How to Make Pasta With Shrimp And Asparagus

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in 1/2 cup clam juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, covered.
  4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound pasta and cook according to package directions. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  5. While the pasta cooks, prepare the asparagus. Cut 1 pound asparagus into 1-inch pieces.
  6. Steam the asparagus until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Add 1 pound shrimp, steamed asparagus, and the zest of 1 lemon to the skillet with the clam sauce.
  8. Cover and cook for 6 minutes, or until shrimp are pink and cooked through.
  9. Stir in the cooked pasta, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. Add a little reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
