INGREDIENTS
6 oz Large Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1.5 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 cup Asparagus
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 Lemon
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
PREPARATION
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using), and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the asparagus and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they become crisp-tender.
Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon over the asparagus, and toss to combine.
Return the shrimp to the skillet just to warm through and coat with the lemon garlic mixture.
Adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed, then serve immediately.
