This is one of my favorite recipes!
It’s fast. It’s easy to make. It’s healthy, AND it’s flavorful!
Plus, the leftovers are even good warmed up the next day.
It may go without saying, but add more or less of the seasonings according to your taste. I like dishes that are a little spicy. So, I usually add a little more crushed red pepper than the recipe calls for, but you do you! I promise you’ll love this one if you even kind of like shrimp and asparagus! ❤️
Ingredients
- 1 pound uncooked extra-large shrimp, peeled
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Pinch crushed red pepper or red pepper flakes
- 2.5 T extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed, cut in half
- 1 T fresh lemon juice
Instructions
In a bowl, add the shrimp, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, and onion powder. Mix everything well. In a cast iron skillet, add 1.5 T of olive oil over medium heat Add the garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the shrimp, and sauté for about 4 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked through. Be sure not to overcook. In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and asparagus. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Return the shrimp to the skillet, and mix everything well to combine. Squeeze lemon just over the top and divide to serve.
