INGREDIENTS
6 oz Shrimp
1 cup Roasted Asparagus
2 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Cooked Quinoa
2 cloves Garlic
1 whole Lemon
PREPARATION
Begin by peeling and deveining the shrimp if not already done, then pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the juice and zest of the lemon, minced garlic, and olive oil. Whisk together to create a marinade.
Toss the shrimp in the marinade and let sit for 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining marinade along with a bit of the olive oil if needed.
Place the shrimp in the skillet in a single layer and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
While the shrimp cooks, preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper, then arrange on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus for about 10-12 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions. For a small portion, measure out 1/4 cup of cooked quinoa as a nutritious side.
Plate the shrimp over the roasted asparagus with a serving of quinoa on the side. Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the top for extra flavor.
