Description
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread 1 pound of shrimp and 8 ounces of asparagus in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet; sprinkle with ½ teaspoon pepper and ¼ teaspoon salt. Roast until the shrimp are opaque and the asparagus is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook 12 ounces of pasta according to package directions. Drain; rinse with cold water.
- Combine the shrimp-asparagus mixture, pasta, ½ cup shallots, ¼ cup Parmesan and 2 tablespoons parsley in a large bowl. Whisk ½ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 teaspoons garlic, 1 teaspoon mustard and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire in a small bowl; add to the pasta mixture and toss to coat. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges.
