Linguine, Shrimp and Asparagus, Creamy Sauce Pinterest

Linguine, shrimp and asparagus in a creamy sauce, shrimp and green asparagus pair wonderfully, the creamy white wine sauce is delicious and linguine seems just the right size pasta for this dish, delicious!

I like my pasta “al dente”, meaning firm. If the cooking instructions are 10 to 12 minutes for instance, cook the pasta 10 minutes sharp. Pasta cooked al dente is more easily digested, plus if you have leftovers, the pasta won’t get soggy in the sauce.

I prefer to use raw shrimp, whether fresh or frozen, as I prefer to cook them lightly, just until they change color. I find that store-bought cooked shrimp are always overcooked and gummy for my liking.
