Now my boiling water was a little bit shrimpy, a little bit asparagusy, and ready for the pasta! You can use any kind of short pasta you have on hand…ziti, penne, rotini….anything that has some holes or ridges to hold the sauce. While your pasta is cooking, let’s make that sauce! Saute a little garlic in some olive oil…use a nice big skillet because we’re ultimately going to toss everything into it. Once the garlic has sizzled for about a minute, add in a little cream and some crumbled blue cheese and stir it around until it is all melted and wonderful.
Now turn off the heat and add the pasta, the shrimp and the asparagus. Toss it all around gently and add a little bit of salt and pepper to taste. The cool shrimp and asparagus are going to mix with the warm sauce and pasta to make the whole thing somewhere between room temperature and just a little warm….voila, warm shrimp and blue cheese pasta salad!
It’s amazing what a few minutes of staring into your refrigerator can do for your supper table!

wow that dinner looks awesome! My fiance would love it! PINNED!
Yay and thanks for the pin!
My Mister would love this dish!
You definitely need to make it for him as soon as possible then!
I never buy shrimp frozen, can you recommend a bagged product that is good and tell me where to get it? Thanks!
Hi Lauren! I buy my shrimp pretty exclusively at Costco. I don’t know how they do it, but their shrimp are INCREDIBLY good all the time.
You’re killin’ me here.
I was lured to this site by the luscious triple decker cheesecake, then I saw the ham & red eye gravy, then the ice box pickles (com’on, a suthren husband’s gotta know that there ain’t no such thing as a Refrigerator Pickle, whether he eats them or not).
Anyway, now I can’t leave. This pasta has to be sampled immediately.
Ha! Yep, that’s my plan…to lure you in and then keep you here! Hope you love the pasta!
