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.

ASPARAGUS SHRIMP LINGUINE
Ingredients:
3 ounces lemon pepper linguine
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons lemon olive oil
1/2 pound shrimp, precooked
8-10 asparagus spears, cut-up
8 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon herb and garlic seasoning
1/4 teaspoon marjoram
1/4 teaspoon basil
1 tablespoon nonpareil capers
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved
Instructions:
Cook lemon pepper pasta with sea salt according to package directions. Drain. Set aside. In a large saucepan, heat lemon olive oil on medium. Add shrimp, asparagus, and tomatoes. Sprinkle with seasoned salt, red pepper flakes, herb and garlic seasoning, marjoram, and basil. Fry shrimp and vegetables until crisp and tender, 4-5 minutes. Add linguine and cook until heated through. Swirl to toss gently. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese shavings. Garnish with capers.
Looks amazing! Unfortunately I will have to wait a little bit longer to find the local asparagus around here – but now I can’t wait!

I don’t think groceries and supermarkets sell lemon pepper linguine here in our city. Can I use regular linguine ?

Shrimp + Pasta is one of my all-time favorites! For some reason it SEEMS more decadent than it is in reality. Wonder why that is… this dish looks fantastic!

Looks good. My husband is pescatarian and I know he’d love this. I think it would work well with salmon chunks instead of prawn too. (Salmon and asparagus, best mates)
