Instructions:
In a large Ziploc bag or bowl, combine the shrimp, clementine or tangerine juice, dill, red pepper flakes, and paprika. Cover and put in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
In a large pot, preheat water for pasta, adding ¼ cup of olive oil and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
In a large skillet, sauté butter and garlic for 2-3 minutes on low heat, being careful not to brown the garlic. Add shrimp to the same skillet, one at time and sauté for 3-4 minutes on a medium heat until pink. Remove shrimp from skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside in a loosely covered bowl.
Reserve the shrimp marinade in a small bowl for the final sauce.
Deglaze skillet by adding the wine and scraping all the little bits off of the bottom of the skillet. Add 1/2 cup of vegetable or chicken stock and bring to a rolling simmer.
Add the reserved marinade. Continue to cook 4-5 minutes on medium heat until marinade is reduced by half.
Add 1 cup tomato pasta sauce and bring to a simmer, approximately 2-3 minutes. Heat to medium and gently fold in the cut asparagus, halved heirloom tomatoes, basil, and cooked shrimp. Simmer for an additional 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and cover.
Bring water for pasta to a boil. Add angel hair pasta and cook according to the directions on the package.
Strain pasta and portion into bowls or onto plates.
Liberally ladle sauce over pasta. Garnish with parsley and freshly grated or shaved Parmesan cheese.
