Garlic Angel Hair Shrimp
This was inspired by one of my favorite restaurant pasta dishes. I keep the lemon separate until the end due to a picky family member, but you could add it earlier if everyone likes lemon. Do not use pre-cooked shrimp and don't overcook the shrimp.
π Recipe adapted from AllRecipes
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
Cook angel hair in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes.
Drain, reserving 1 cup of the water.
Melt 1 tablespoon in a large skillet over high heat.
Saute shrimp in hot butter until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon to a bowl, retaining liquid in the skillet.
Reduce heat to medium-high.
Cook onion and garlic in the retained liquid in the skillet until the onions are translucent 5 to 7 minutes.
Stir tomatoes into the onion mixture; cook and stir until the tomatoes soften, about 5 minutes.
Stir asparagus into the tomato mixture and add the reserved water from cooking the pasta; bring liquid to a simmer and cook until the asparagus is tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the shrimp and angel hair pasta; stir.
Cook until the shrimp is completely opaque in the middle, 2 to 3 minutes more.
Season with salt and garnish with Parmesan cheese and lemon wedges.
