Lemon-Linguine Shrimp Salad image

This summery medley of spicy shrimp, fresh asparagus and pasta is subtly splashed with lemon. It adds a touch of elegance to any outdoor gathering or luncheon. If you make it ahead, add the basil just before serving. Serve with frosty glasses of iced tea. --Laureen Pittman, Riverside, California

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were amazing! The lemon-shrimp combination was a winner, and the linguine cooked perfectly. I added a bit of extra lemon zest and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a little extra kick. Highly recommend
