Combining tender shrimp with fresh vegetables and a creamy Greek yogurt sauce, this dish is both satisfying and healthy.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
- Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the asparagus, red bell pepper, and peas. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- In the same skillet with the vegetables, push the vegetables to one side and add the shrimp to the other side. Season the shrimp with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp white pepper.
- Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Mix everything together.
- In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped parsley, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp white pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the shrimp and vegetables. Pour the Greek yogurt sauce over the top.
- Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add the reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Transfer the Garlic Shrimp and Vegetable Pasta to serving plates.
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley and lemon wedges, if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp and vegetables for the best flavor.
- Ensure the pasta is cooked al dente for a perfect texture.
- Reserve a bit of pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
- Don't overcook the shrimp; cook just until they turn pink and are opaque.
- Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
- For an extra touch of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or grated Parmesan cheese on top.
This garlic shrimp and vegetable pasta is a flavorful and wholesome dish that brings together the zesty taste of lemon and garlic with the richness of Greek yogurt and the freshness of vegetables.
