INGREDIENTS
200g Shrimp, deveined and peeled
1 cup Asparagus spears (approx. 134g)
1.5 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Garlic Cloves
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
0.5 tsp Salt
0.25 tsp Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
Trim the woody ends from the asparagus and, if desired, cut into halves for easier eating.
In a large skillet, heat 1.5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on one side until they begin to turn pink.
Toss in the asparagus spears and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are fully opaque and the asparagus is tender but still crisp.
Drizzle with fresh lemon juice, toss to coat evenly, and adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed.
Plate immediately and serve hot.
