Fettuccine With Asparagus And Shrimp

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Tried this last night for the family and received great reviews. I only made a couple of small changes. used a combination of whole wheat and veggie angel hair pasta, added some chopped carrots and because I forgot to pick up lemons used lemon pepper instead although I think having the lemons would have made this that much better. Excellent recipe and will use often.

    Fettuccine With Asparagus and Shrimp, This is a lighter version of a fantastic recipe Each serving is about 338 calories I found this in a magazine Quick and simple , Tried this last night for the family and received great reviews I only made a couple of small changes used a combination of whole wheat and veggie angel hair pasta, added some chopped carrots and because I forgot to pick up lemons used lemon pepper instead although I think having the lemons would have made this that much better Excellent recipe and will use often , So good and different for my regular pastas The combination of asparagus, shrimps and parmesan makes me want to make this again used my microplane for zesting the lemon; a magic tool I found it made enough zest that used just one lemon I had never made a sauce with base as olive oil and pasta broth; when you have it at the restaurant you have a pool of oil at the bottom of your plate’ your recipe was Perfect Thanks for posting Brenda I made this for ZWT 5
