Shrimp Scampi Pasta with Asparagus Recipe

I know that this is my first time to make a food blog here but I'm happy to share this recipe because it is just so good that I can't believe I made it perfectly knowing that it is my first time to cook this. This is by far the best dish I made that looks fantastic and taste amazing that you don't need to go to a fancy restaurant to eat good food. You can watch the video and check out the recipe below. 

Ingredients for Shrimp Scampi Pasta:

350g spaghetti (cooked with 1 Tbsp salt)

400g shrimp, peeled

1 bundle asparagus, rinsed

3 Tbsp butter, divided

3 Tbsp olive oil, divided

4 cloves garlic, minced

Sea Salt and Garlic Pepper (pepper is enough)

1 large freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 Tbsp grated lemon zest

Grated parmesan

How to Make Shrimp Scampi Pasta with Asparagus:

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add 1 Tbsp salt and cook pasta according to package instructions until desired doneness (meanwhile, continue with recipe). Drain pasta, return to pot and cover to keep warm.

 2. Place a large, deep pan over medium/high heat and add 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter. Add asparagus, season lightly with salt and fgarlic pepper and cook uncovered for 5 minutes or until crisp tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from pan.

4. In the same hot pan, add oil and  butter. Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic and sautee, stirring frequently for 1 minute. Add shrimp in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Saute until shrimp are pink and not translucent (about 2 minutes per side). Be careful not to overcook or shrimp will be tough.

5. Add lemon juice & lemon zest and stir to combine. Turn off the heat and return asparagus and pasta to the pan. Toss everything to combine and serve with grated parmesan.
