Fettucine With Asparagus And Shrimp

Altar call evangelism rarely produces lasting fruit. While the initial statistics are often impressive, the numbers of those who bear the biblical marks of regeneration are usually minute in comparison. D. A. Carson calls attention to this disturbing pattern in his book, A Call for Spiritual Reformation: “To what extent do those who profess faith at world-class evangelistic meetings actually persevere, over a period of five years from their initial profession of faith? When careful studies have been undertaken, the most commonly agreed range is 2 percent to 4 percent; that is, between 2 percent and 4 percent of those who make a profession of faith at such meetings are actually persevering in the faith five years later, as measured by such external criteria as attendance at church, regular Bible reading, or the like” (Baker, 1992, p. 24).

running cold water and pat  dry with paper towels. In bowl, mix shrimp

teaspoon salt.  Mean while, in nonstick 12 inch skillet over
medium-high heat, in 1/2  tablespoon hot olive oil, cook onion, yellow
pepper strips until  peppers are tender-crisp; remove to bowl.  In same
skillet in 1/2 more tablespoon oil cook asparagus and shrimp  mixture

about 3 minutes. Stir in yellow pepper mixture and 1/2  cup water; heat
through.  To serve, toss fettuccine with shrimp mixture and soy sauce.
Sprinkle  with grated lemon peel.  NOTES : Note:  I did not take out
the onions -- just added everything  in the order in which it cooks.  I
didn't add any extra oil, either.  I also forgot to add the water.
