Preparation

Bring water in a large saucepan to a boil. Cook pasta for approximately 10 minutes until “al dente”, or tender, but firm. Drain and set aside.

2
Done

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sauté until they become pink. Remove them from the skillet.

3
Done

In the same skillet, sauté the asparagus with the shallot and garlic over medium heat. Add the chicken stock, lemon zest, tarragon, and black pepper and bring the mixture to a simmer (approximately 5 minutes, uncovered). Once the liquid in the skillet has reduced by half, add the shrimp and rotini to the skillet. Toss together and serve immediately. Enjoy.
