Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ (12 ounce) package rotini pasta
1 tablespoon butter
1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups chopped fresh asparagus
¼ cup water
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
¾ cup Parmesan cheese
½ cup half-and-half
2 teaspoons dried parsley
cracked black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook pasta at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 8 minutes.
  • While the pasta is cooking, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and garlic; saute until the shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove shrimp to a covered dish; keep warm.
  • Add asparagus and water to the hot skillet; cover and steam until the asparagus is tender-crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes; steam until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes. Uncover and reduce heat to medium. Drain pasta and add to the skillet. Add shrimp, Parmesan cheese, and half-and-half, stirring gently to combine. Cook until sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with parsley and season with pepper to serve.
