INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Shrimp, raw, deveined
1/2 pound Asparagus
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for shrimp)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for asparagus)
2 cloves Garlic
2 wedges Lemon
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Mince the garlic cloves and zest half of the lemon.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 teaspoon olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the shrimp during the last minute of cooking to infuse a bright, tangy flavor.
Plate the shrimp alongside the roasted asparagus and garnish with additional lemon wedges if desired.
