Ingredients

1 bunch (1 lb) asparagus spears,cut into 1 inch pieces

1/2 cup prepared Good Seasons garlic & herb salad dressing mix, divided

1 lb. cleaned medium shrimp

1 large red pepper,cut into thin strips

2 cups penne pasta or ziti pasta

1 pkg. (4 oz) feta cheese (crumbled)

Preparation

Cook asparagus in 1 tablespoon of the prepared dressing in a large nonstick skillet on medium heat, stirring frequently. add shrimp and red pepper; cover. Cook 5 minutes or until shrimp turn pink and vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile cook pasta as directed.

Drain pasta; place in large serving bowl. Add remaining dressing, asparagus mixture and cheese; toss lightly.

This is really excellent. I used precooked shrimp so I didn’t add them until the vegetables were almost done. Then I added them just to heat through.
