Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus
- 16 oz large shrimp
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 oz white wine
- kosher salt and fresh pepper
- 1/2 tsp herbs de Provence
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 8 oz angel hair pasta
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 6-8 ripe plum tomatoes
- 2 cloves garlic
Instructions
- 1
Begin by seasoning the shrimp with salt and black pepper. Place a large skillet over high heat to warm up.
- 2
Once the skillet is adequately heated, lightly coat it with cooking spray and introduce the shrimp.
- 3
Sauté the shrimp for approximately 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until they are nearly cooked through, then remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- 4
Lower the heat to medium, then add olive oil and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the garlic turns a light golden color, being cautious not to let it burn, for about 1 minute.
- 5
Incorporate the tomatoes into the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer until the tomatoes soften, which should take around 4 minutes.
- 6
Pour in the white wine and broth, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional minute before adding the asparagus, along with more salt, pepper, and herbs.
- 7
Cover the skillet and let it simmer on medium-low heat for 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- 8
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and cook the pasta until al dente. Drain the pasta once it’s cooked.
- 9
After the sauce has simmered for 10 minutes, return the shrimp to the skillet to finish cooking for about 1 minute (be careful not to overcook, as this will make the shrimp tough).
- 10
Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss everything together until well combined.

Serve the dish in 4 bowls, topping each with a generous amount of freshly grated cheese.
