    Shrimp Linguini with Asparagus is a one pan recipe perfect for a special occasion dinner. But it's so easy to make that it will also be your easy weeknight favorite!

    Valentines Day is this coming Friday and this is a perfect meal to make.

    I despise going out that day. I don't like the crowds, special menus or hoopla that goes with eating out that night. So instead I choose to make a delicious dinner in. 

    While this one pan recipe is a great special occasion dinner, it is also perfect for a week night meal. This dinner is easy and quick. I really love that it only uses one pan and there is no colander  involved.

    What ingredients do you need for Shrimp Linguini with Asparagus?

    • pasta
    • asparagus
    • sun dried tomatoes
    • shrimp
    • white wine
    • olive oil
    • seasonings
    • half and half
    • fresh basil

    The pasta, veggies, white wine, olive oil, water and seasonings are all added to the pot together. The shrimp and half and half get added towards the end of the cooking time. Fresh basil gets garnished at the end. 

    Who really wants to clean or wash any extra pans especially on Valentine's day? I prefer to eat dinner then relax with a glass of wine or a Strawberry Mojito cocktail.

    And if we are celebrating Valentines day, we should have dessert, right?  Cannoli Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries  or Nutella Cheesecake Dip would be perfect! 

    Shrimp Linguini with Asparagus

    My daughter is at college and my high school aged son has a darn good social life. So I have become more accustomed  to making plenty of two person meals.

    How many servings does this One Pan Recipe make?

    This shrimp linguini recipe actually makes 3 servings. It can be enough for 2 really hungry people or 4 smaller sized servings.  I don't mind having leftovers for lunch the next day either. This dish is better reheated in a skillet with melted butter or olive oil as the microwave changes the texture a bit.

    After you get hungry looking at this shrimp linguini recipe, take a look below at other great dinner ideas for  Valentine's day. They are from the Sunday Supper tastemakers and will give you plenty of easy dinner ideas to cook for two.

    Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you eat well!

      Ah, yes Valentine's Day is the worst day to go out to dinner. It's too crowded and the service is bad and it's just no fun. I love staying home, especially with a meal that looks this good.!

      Welcome to Sunday Supper, Lisa! Your one pan pasta dish looks divine! I'd be tempted to double it, just so I could have leftovers.

        Thanks for the nice comment Stacy. I will admit that I like leftovers better making pasta the more traditional way. Just because I think the one pan pasta is not as good heated in the microwave the next day but butter by heating in a frying pan. But this is so easy that you could make it again the next day!

      Made this last night and it turned out fabulous and so easy. Love recipes that use ingredients I already have in my kitchen! Only change to recipe was that I subbed chicken broth for wine since I didn't want to open a bottle for the amount needed (I already had a bottle of red open) but will try with WW next time. Served with salad and warm Italian bread. Looking forward to trying more of your recipes!
