GARLIC SHRIMP WITH ASPARAGUS
I thought I share a quick and easy recipe of my aunts that is delish.

2 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 lbs of large peeled and deveined shrimp
1 lb fresh asparagus cut in 2in pieces
1 5.2 oz package Boursin garlic and fine herbs cheese
2 tablespoons creme fraiche(can be hard to find)
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
salt and better to taste
served over rice or pasta

In a 12in nonstick skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and asparagus; cook for about 5 minutes or until shrimp turn pink and asparagus is a crisp tender Reduce heat to low. Stir in Boursin cheese and creme fraiche until melted. Stir in lemon juice. Season with pepper to taste. Serve over rice or pasta.

I've also used sour cream if creme fraiche was not available and its still good. I've never tried it with rice. Always have fresh french bread for dipping. I cook asparagus for a mintue or so before adding shrimp. I also cook pasta in just a little bit of liquid crab boil.

Hope some of you try it and hopefully enjoy it.
