Lemon and White Wine Shrimp Scampi with Asparagus Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Shrimp Recipes. (Lemon and White Wine Shrimp Scampi with Asparagus Recipe). Bright and fresh shrimp scampi pasta with wine and lemon juice! Sometimes I just throw the asparagus right in with it because it comes out so good! I've tried several white wines with this, but my favorite flavor is with a Sauvignon Blanc. You can also make this with scallops and thin spaghetti.
