This is one of my absolute favorites, my mom made it for us first and now that I am on my own I tried to recreate it with my little twist on it. It really is so good and a great spring summer meal, farmer’s market vegetables are always great too! The recipe that follows will have the general vegetables that I use but you can put any kind of vegetable with this recipe so use what you like.
Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 box of linguine pasta
1 pound of fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lemon
½ cup of parmesan cheese
Extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves of garlic
Salt and pepper
5 stalks of Asparagus
1 good size zucchini
1 good size yellow summer squash
1 tomato, cut into wedges
Sprinkle of fresh parsley
Cooking Instructions:
Cook your pasta according to box instructions, remember to salt your water after it starts to boil
Clean your shrimp, by peeling and deveining … heat up a medium size skillet with 2T of butter, 2T of olive oil, 3 cloves of garlic finely minced … once the butter is melted add the shrimp … stir to coat with the butter and garlic … cook both sides till they are pink
In another pan add sliced vegetables (accept the tomatoes) and about ½ cup of water and a sprinkle of salt … cover with lid and put on high heat until water boils and vegetables are steamed
In a large bowl combine drained pasta, drained steamed vegetables, sautéed shrimp with all the dripping (that’s your flavor), wedges tomatoes, parmesan cheese, sprinkle of salt and fresh black pepper... drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and squeeze the juice of one lemon…… Toss it all together and sprinkle with fresh parsley ….
