   Or 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2" pieces
3 T olive oil, divided
9 oz pkg linguine, cooked and kept warm
1-10 oz container refrigerated light Alfredo sauce (I've used the jar that has low fat, can't remember the brand)
  • Toss  shrimp, lemon juice, garlic, and red pepper in a small bowl; cover and let stand 15 minutes.
  • Saute peas in 2 T olive oil in a large heavy skillet over med-high heat until tender; Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.
  • Heat remaining 1 T olive oil in skillet; add shrimp mixture. Saute 4 minutes or until shrimp turn opaque.
