Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 bunch thin asparagus, trimmed
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, juiced and zested
  • 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • crushed red pepper flakes, to taste (optional)
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  • Spread the shrimp and asparagus evenly on a sheet pan.
    1 pound large raw shrimp, 1 bunch thin asparagus
  • In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Brush the butter mixture onto the asparagus and shrimp.
    ¼ cup butter, 4 cloves garlic, 1 lemon
  • Season everything with lemon pepper seasoning, garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper.
    ½ teaspoon garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper, 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
  • Bake for about 8 minutes or until the asparagus are slightly tender and the shrimp are pink. The asparagus is cooked but a bit crisp at this stage, remove the shrimp and cook the asparagus 3-5 minutes longer if you want it more tender. If the asparagus starts to get too dark, cover with tinfoil to finish cooking. It may take longer if you use thicker asparagus pieces.
  • Remove the pan and top the shrimp with chopped parsley and serve.

Notes

  • To Store. Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing. Place the cooled shrimp and asparagus in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 months.
  • To Reheat. Warm gently in the oven at 350°F until heated through, or in a skillet over medium heat to avoid overcooking.
