📝 Preparation Steps
1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add 1 Tbsp salt and cook pasta according to package instructions until Al'dente (meanwhile, continue with recipe). Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain pasta, return to the pot, and cover to keep warm.

Place a large, deep pan over medium/high heat and add 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter. Add asparagus, season lightly with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper, and cook uncovered for ⏱️ 5 minutes or until crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from pan.

In the same hot skillet, add 2 Tbsp oil and 2 Tbsp butter. Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic and red pepper flakes if using, and sautee, stirring frequently for ⏱️ 1 minute. Add shrimp in a single layer and season with 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Saute until shrimp are pink and not translucent (about ⏱️ 1 minute per side). Be careful not to overcook or the shrimp will be tough.
