Well, here is one that I did night before last, because asparagus was on
sale! I took a recipe that I had done before, and added to it:
Asparagus Linguine with prawns
2 tbls olive oil
3 garlic cloves finely minced
2 habs finely minced
1/2 lb aparagus, cut into 1 inch pieces
1/2 lb shrimps(prawns)
2/3 cup chicken broth
juice of one lemon, and grate the peel
2 tsps freshly grated ginger
1 tbls corns starch disolved in 1 tbls water
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, also a little sugar if sour!
Cook about 8 ozs of linguine to ala dente and keep warm.
Heat a skillet or a wok and add the olive oil, then add the garlic,
peppers and the asparagus, and stir fry for about two minutes, then add
the prawns, and cook until just pink...combine the broth, lemon juice,
lemon zest, ginger and the cornstarch, water mix, and add this to the
wok, stirring until it thickens a little...place the pasta in a large
pasta dish and add the contents of the wok to it tossing well, and serve
immediately....freshly grated parmesan or romano on top.
This is a great dish, all the flavors come through, including the habs
