Shrimp and Scallop Scampi with Linguine and Asparagus

by

 

When I saw the beautiful Wild White Shrimp that Fresh Fish Fanatics had for sale on their boat and the fresh Asparagus I found at the Farmers’ Market, I decided to create a simple pasta dish to feature them.  We also had a few scallops leftover from the Scallops en Papillote Over Fettuccine we’d made, so I added them in, too!

If you love shrimp and you’re looking for a quick, delicious weeknight dinner, this is it!  Enjoy with salad, wine, and bread!
