20 min

Fresh ginger and lemon zest transform simple shrimp and asparagus into something that tastes way more special than the 20 minutes it takes to make.

The vegetables sauté until crisp-tender, shrimp turn pink in minutes, then everything gets tossed with spaghetti in a light, glossy sauce.

This is the kind of dinner that feels like you ordered takeout but tastes fresher and costs half as much.

Pro Tips

  • Use fresh ginger root, not dried, for brightness that bottled can’t match
  • Don’t overcook shrimp or they turn rubbery, just until pink and opaque
  • Toss pasta with sauce while both are hot so noodles absorb flavor
  • Add extra lemon juice at the table for those who like it really bright
