What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? All the Buzz: Asparagus Shrimp Linguine! Whether you scour the ditches and railroad tracks, visit the local Farmers Market, or drop by your favorite grocers, the growing season of asparagus is upon us. Now is the time to take full advantage of its abundance. Look for signs of firm, tight buds for tender morsels. The delicate purplish tips are the best of the stalk. Indulge thy self.

I contacted the Help Center to make them aware of the problem, but did not hear back. Perhaps it was an easy fix on their end. Thanks for following up with me, Erika. π

So glad it worked out! It is a pain with all those issues! My blog seemed not to show up either at one of my followers. I don’t know why that happens! But glad you are more visible again π

Yummy! I like all the ingredients in this recipe. I like how you added capers for flavor. Shrimp, asparagas and linguini are great summer foods, almost could serve this with a light mayonnaise dressing as a pasta salad. π
