Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
¾ cup unsalted butter
2 ½ tablespoons olive oil, or to taste, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
3 tablespoons capers
1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 lemon, quartered

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
  • While pasta is cooking, heat butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, making sure not to burn, about 2 minutes. Add shrimp, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes; add tomatoes and capers. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until shrimp are completely pink, about 3 minutes more.
  • Drain the penne and return it to the empty pot; toss with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Keep warm.
  • Pour 1 inch of water into a pot and add a steamer basket. Bring water to a boil and add asparagus. Cover the pot and steam until al dente, about 3 minutes.
  • Scoop 1/4 of the spaghetti onto a plate. Add 1/4 of the asparagus and 1/4 of the shrimp mixture, making sure to include the butter sauce as well. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve with a lemon wedge. Repeat with remaining spaghetti, asparagus, shrimp, Parmesan, and lemon wedges for each serving.

WAY-EASY CREAMY GARLIC SHRIMP PASTA



Way-Easy Creamy Garlic Shrimp Pasta image

This recipe is sooo easy because it uses a packaged product for the pasta and sauce. But you would never know it because it is so delicious! Part of the secret is sauteing the shrimp and mushrooms in the drippings from frying the bacon, so be sure and cook the bacon in a frying pan instead of the microwave.
