There are several variations of this recipe. You can use fettuccine in place of the penne. I have also seen fresh spinach in place of asparagus. I prefer asparagus instead of spinach as it tends to wilt so fast. I love anything with dill and fresh lemon!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Light and tangy, this pasta dish has tons of flavor. The shrimp and asparagus absorb the flavor from the garlic they're sauteed in. Once cooked, they're tossed with pasta and a sauce filled with lemon and dill. The dill makes this lighter meal refreshing. Quick and easy to make, enjoy this hot or cold. Both are equally delicious.
