How to Make Shrimp Almondine with Asparagus

1. Toast Almonds

In a large skillet over medium heat, add half of the unsalted butter, and heat until melted and foamy. Stir in the sliced almonds and cook, stirring frequently, until they are just starting to brown. This will take about 2-3 minutes. you want to leave room for them to toast longer as you add the remaining ingredients, so leave them lightly toasted here.

2. Cook Vegetables

Add the asparagus to the pan with a pinch of salt and cook for 1-2 minutes or until half cooked.

3. Cook Shrimp

Season the shrimp with salt and add the shrimp to the skillet. Saute until they are pink and about 50% cooked, approximately 1-2 minutes.

4. Deglaze

Pour in the white wine, and reduce the wine by about 80%. This step concentrates the flavors and creates a base for the sauce.

5. Finishing Ingredients

Once the shrimp and asparagus are cooked, and there is very little liquid in the pan, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter and then the chopped parsley. Taste and adjust the seasoning, with salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste.
