Angel Hair with Shrimp and Asparagus is a quick and easy pasta dish made with fresh tomatoes and asparagus in a light tomato broth.
INGREDIENTS
1 bunch asparagus, tough ends removed, quartered
1 tbsp olive oil
6-8 ripe plum tomatoes, diced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
16 oz large shrimp, peeled and de-veined
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 oz white wine
kosher salt and fresh pepper, to taste
1/2 tsp herbs de Provence, or you can use your favorite herbs
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, gives it a little kick
8 oz angel hair pasta, wheat or gluten-free
INSTRUCTIONS
Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet on high heat.
When skillet is hot, spray with oil and add shrimp.
Cook shrimp about 1 to 2 minutes in each side until ALMOST cooked through and remove from the pan. Set aside.
Reduce skillet heat to medium, add olive oil and garlic and sauté until golden, careful not to burn, about 1 minute.
Add tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Simmer until tender, about 4 minutes.
Add the white wine and broth and stir, cook 1 minute then add the asparagus, salt, pepper and herbs.
Cover and simmer for 10 minutes on medium low heat, until the vegetables are tender.
While sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta al dente. Drain when done.
After sauce simmers 10 minutes, return shrimp to sauce and finish cooking, about 1 minute (Do not overcook or shrimp will get tough).
Add pasta to the sauce and toss well.
Divide equally in 4 bowls and top with a good grated cheese.
