Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined, fresh or frozen (thawed)
  • 1 bunch asparagus woody ends trimmed
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lemon zested and juiced
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly cracked
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional, for heat
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Large Rimmed Baking Sheet
  • 2 Mixing Bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels.
  2. Place the trimmed asparagus on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer.
  3. Roast the asparagus for 5-10 minutes, until just starting to get tender.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the melted butter, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  5. In a separate larger bowl, add the dried shrimp. Pour the lemon garlic butter sauce over the shrimp and toss to coat fully.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the shrimp in a single layer next to the asparagus.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and cooked through.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure the ingredients roast properly.
Cooking time may vary based on the size of your shrimp and the thickness of your asparagus spears.
Serve immediately for the best texture.
