This is always a hit. The best part is how fast you can whip it up! You could just buy roasted tomatoes in a jar, but I think roasting them yourself gives the dish a very fresh, deep flavor.

GARLIC ANGEL HAIR SHRIMP
This was inspired by one of my favorite restaurant pasta dishes. I keep the lemon separate until the end due to a picky family member, but you could add it earlier if everyone likes lemon. Do not use pre-cooked shrimp and don't overcook the shrimp.

Tips for Cooking Asparagus and Shrimp with Angel Hair Pasta:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: Look for bright green asparagus spears that are firm and snap easily. Select medium-sized shrimp that are firm and have a translucent appearance.
- Cook the asparagus and shrimp separately: This will ensure that both ingredients are cooked evenly and maintain their texture and flavor.
- Use a large skillet or sauté pan: This will provide enough space for the asparagus, shrimp, and pasta to cook without overcrowding.
- Cook the asparagus first: Asparagus takes longer to cook than shrimp, so it's best to start with this ingredient first.
- Add the shrimp towards the end of cooking: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it should be added to the skillet just a few minutes before the asparagus is done.
- Use a flavorful marinade or sauce: This will add extra flavor to the asparagus and shrimp. You can use a simple olive oil and lemon juice marinade, or try a more complex sauce such as a garlic-butter sauce or a white wine sauce.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Chopped parsley, basil, or chives will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
Asparagus and shrimp with angel hair pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a special occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your dish turns out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
