    Description

    This fresh and bright cold shrimp pasta salad features classic shrimp scampi flavors. Lemon and Dijon mustard brighten the dressing, and asparagus adds a nice crunch. Farfalle pasta works well with this dish, but any medium pasta shape will work.

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread shrimp and asparagus in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet; sprinkle with pepper and salt. Roast until the shrimp are opaque and the asparagus is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
    2. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain; rinse with cold water.
    3. Combine the shrimp-asparagus mixture, pasta, shallots, Parmesan and parsley in a large bowl. Whisk mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, mustard and 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.
