Savor the fresh, zesty flavors of succulent shrimp bathed in a luscious lemon garlic butter sauce paired with perfectly roasted asparagus. This dish balances a vibrant citrus tang with the rich creaminess of butter, and is finished with a hint of roasted garlic—ideal for a light yet fulfilling meal.
INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Shrimp
1 cup Asparagus
1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 medium Lemon
Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for the asparagus.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with a small amount of butter (or olive oil if preferred), season with salt and pepper, and roast for about 10-12 minutes until tender and edge-crisp.
Meanwhile, peel and devein the shrimp if needed and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the tablespoon of butter. Add the minced garlic (from 2 cloves) and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the shrimp during the last minute of cooking. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Plate the shrimp and drizzle any extra garlic butter from the skillet over the top. Serve alongside the roasted asparagus, garnish with a lemon wedge if desired, and enjoy!
