ASPARAGUS WITH SHRIMP PENNE image

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch (1 lb) asparagus spears,cut into 1 inch pieces
1/2 cup prepared Good Seasons garlic & herb salad dressing mix, divided
1 lb. cleaned medium shrimp
1 large red pepper,cut into thin strips
2 cups penne pasta or ziti pasta
1 pkg. (4 oz) feta cheese (crumbled)

Steps:

Cook asparagus in 1 tablespoon of the prepared dressing in a large nonstick skillet on medium heat, stirring frequently. add shrimp and red pepper; cover. Cook 5 minutes or until shrimp turn pink and vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile cook pasta as directed. Drain pasta; place in large serving bowl. Add remaining dressing, asparagus mixture and cheese; toss lightly. This is really excellent. I used precooked shrimp so I didn't add them until the vegetables were almost done. Then I added them just to heat through.
