Ingredients
- 1 lb. linguine
- 11/2 cups frozen petite peas
- 1 lb. frozen shelled uncooked large shrimp
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
- 3 Tbsp. olive oil divided
- 2 tsp. minced garlic divided
- 12 stalks asparagus
- 1 orange or red bell pepper
- 1 large shallot
- 1 lemon
- 1 to 11/2 cups vegetable broth
- 12 fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 bunch fresh chives
Instructions
- 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. When water boils, stir in a tablespoonful of salt. Add linguine and cook until almost al dente, about 7 minutes. Add the peas to the pot and cook 2 more minutes. Drain.
- 2. While pasta cooks, prepare the shrimp and vegetables. Place shrimp in a colander and rinse with cold water, tossing occasionally, until they are thawed, about 6 minutes. Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel, then season with salt and red pepper flakes.
- 3. Heat 2 Tbsp. of the oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over high heat. Add 1 tsp. of the garlic and all the shrimp and cook, stirring, until shrimp are pink and firm, about 6 minutes. Transfer shrimp and accumulated juices to a plate and set aside.
- 4. While shrimp cook, chop asparagus and bell pepper into 1-inch pieces. Mince the shallot and grate the zest from the lemon. Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil over medium-high heat in the same pot used for the shrimp. Add remaining 1 tsp. garlic, shallot, and lemon zest and cook for 1 minute. Add asparagus and bell pepper and sauté, stirring, until they begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Add 1 cup of the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer while pasta finishes cooking. Chop basil leaves and chives and set aside.
- 5. Add linguine and peas to the pot. Add shrimp and juices. Toss over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes. If needed, add some reserved broth. 6. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped basil and chives. Serve immediately.
