I came up with this recipe on my own. Just pulled it out of the sky. It is fresh and lite. While writing this recipe, I thought asparagus would be nice in this dish. I added it at the bottom as an option. You could also substitute the shrimp for other seafood or chicken. You can use any raw shrimp in this recipe if you can't find pink Key West Shrimp . Have all prep work done before you start combining ingredients, as the cooking process goes fast. I cooked the pasta at the same time I combined all the rest of the ingredients. I use Manage Au Tois white wine. The flavors are nice in this dish. Hess Chardany would be good too. Enjoy! Ingredients:
1/2 lb garlic and herb fettuccine |
1/2 lb of 50/60 raw pink key west shrimp, peeled, devained, rinced and dried |
2 ounces pine nuts, toasted |
1/2 cup olive oil |

5. Cook pasta as directed.
6. Heat half of the olive oil on med heat in 11 saute pan, gently add shrimp (to help prevent splashing of hot oil) Saute for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. You may add the asparagus at this time if using.
