1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/2 cup white wine

1 bunch asparagus stalks, trimmed

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

I neglected to reserve a cup of the pasta water to use and instead used water. I am sure that if I had used pasta water it would have helped thicken the very runny sauce. The recipe doesn’t explicitly say how long to sauté the asparagus or to sauté the asparagus in the wine, lemon, water which is more like boiling it but that’s what I did for a couple minutes to al dente. The final product was tasty but it is easy to overcook the shrimp and asparagus in this dish so be careful with cooking times.
