25m total time

Indulge in a delightful blend of succulent shrimp, tender asparagus, and al dente pasta, all enveloped in a zesty and aromatic lemon garlic sauce.

Cook the pasta according to package instructions, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, then add the shrimp, asparagus, salt, and black pepper, cooking until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, then stir in the cooked pasta, along with the grated zest and juice of the lemon.
Toss everything together, adding the reserved pasta water as needed to create a light sauce. Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
