Mother's Day

Pasta for my mama...
My mom LOVES lemon (she will eat a wedge completely plain!) so I made this for her on Mother's Day.

Shrimp Asparagus Pasta
Serves 4

2 tablespoons veggie oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 pound fresh asparagus, cut in 1" pieces
1 lb. cooked shrimp, cleaned and deveined
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
1 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. cornstarch
8 oz. cooked spaghetti

In a large skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and asparagus, saute for 2 minutes. Add shrimp and saute 2 minutes.

In a small bowl combine chicken broth, lemon juice and zest, ginger, and cornstarch. Add to skillet. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute. Toss with spaghetti.

*Lemon slices to garnish.
