Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the angel hair pasta and cook for 3-4 minutes until al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping. Once cooked, drain the pasta, reserving about ½ cup of the pasta water, and set it aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- To the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed, then toss in the asparagus pieces. Sauté the asparagus for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
- Once the asparagus is tender, return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Add the drained angel hair pasta along with the reserved pasta water, a splash of fresh lemon juice, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Toss everything together gently until well coated.
- Plate the Asparagus Shrimp Angel Hair Pasta while hot, garnishing with the remaining Parmesan cheese and a slice of lemon on the side.
