Fettuccine With Asparagus And Shrimp Recipe

Fettuccine With Asparagus And Shrimp

From chihuahua 16 years ago

Pasta and shrimp doesn't get any easier than this. A dish to savor and enjoy. Good Houskeeping 1994.

Hold base of each asparagus stalk firmly and bend stalk; the end will break off at the spot where stalk becomes too tough to eat. Discard tough ends; trim scales if stalks are gritty. Cut asparagus diagonally into 3-inch pieces.
Dice onion; slice yellow peppers into 1/4-inch-thick strips.
From lemon, grate peel and squeeze juice.
Shell and devein shrimp, leaving tail part of shell on if you like. Rinse shrimp with cold running water and pat dry with paper towel.
In bowl, mix shrimp with juice from lemon, crushed red pepper, and 1/2 tsp. salt.
In saucepot, prepare fettuccine as label directs, using 2 tsp. salt in water; drain. Return fettuccine to saucepot; keep warm.
Meanwhile, in nonstick 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, in 1 Tbl. hot olive oil or salad oil, cook onion, yellow-pepper strips, and 1/2 tsp. salt until peppers are tender-crisp; remove to bowl.
In same skillet in 1 more Tbl. oil, cook asparagus and shrimp mixture until asparagus are tender-crisp and shrimp turn opaque throughout, about 3 minutes.
Stir in yellow pepper mixture and 1/2 C water; heat through.
To serve, toss fettuccine with shrimp mixture and soy sauce.
Sprinkle with grated lemon peel.
