Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Bring a small pot (medium pot for 4) of salted water to a boil. • Trim and discard woody bottom ends from asparagus; cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Quarter lemon.
• Once water is boiling, add tortelloni to pot. (TIP: Move on to the next step if the water is not boiling yet.) Cook until tender and floating to the top, 3-4 minutes. • Reserve 1⁄2 cup pasta cooking water, then drain.
• Rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat dry. • Drizzle oil in a hot large pan. Add shrimp, asparagus, and garlic powder; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are opaque and cooked through and asparagus is tender, 3-4 minutes. • In the last minute of cooking, add minced garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds.
• Add peas, cream sauce base, and juice from two lemon wedges (four wedges for 4). Reduce to a simmer; cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 30 to 60 seconds more. • Add drained tortelloni; stir to combine. If needed, stir in splashes of reserved pasta cooking water until everything is coated in a creamy sauce. • Squeeze lemon juice over tortelloni and serve.
Shrimp are fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

- Suggestions: Consider adding Parmesan cheese for extra richness. Some preferred substituting green beans or zucchini for the asparagus.
- Leftovers: Several mentioned it made great leftovers, with ample portions for multiple meals.
- Texture: A few found the sauce too thin; reduce pasta water or simmer longer for a creamier consistency.
Reviews from our home cooks
One of the quickest and easiest recipes, and it tasted awesome. My mom, who doesn't like peas, even loved the recipe.
Quick and easy to prep and cook. The taste was magnificent!
This was a nutritious, tasty dish with the addition of shrimp, peas, and asparagus.
Excellent! One of our new favorites! Loved that there were plenty of shrimp!
Super delicious! Very happily ate each bite that felt like it kept tasting better and better! Made a decent amount for me and my honey!
Terrific except next time no pasta water needed (sauce was a bit runny) and add more salt/pepper (or Agliio Olio!)
Very fast and easy to make. The shrimp was good too. But some of the asparagus had already gone bad and I made this on the day I got it! Other than that, my mom and I liked it and the portion size was good for two.
This was okay but not as flavorful as other recipes. I added some parmesan cheese to top it off and I wish I had added a little more salt and pepper. Not a fan of the peas but that is a personal preference.
I added some fresh sage that I had on hand - chefs kiss with freshness of the lemon!!
Was surprised, I didn't realize when I ordered this it had asparagus in it. It was great.
