Why Sheet Pan Meals Are a Lifesaver

• Almost No Cleanup: One sheet pan lined with foil or parchment means clean-up is done in minutes.
• Quick Cooking Time: Both shrimp and asparagus cook very quickly, making them a perfect pairing.
• Nutritious & Fresh: Packed with lean protein, healthy fats, and green vegetables.

Ingredients Breakdown

• Large Shrimp (1 lb): Peeled and deveined.
• Asparagus (1 bunch): Ends trimmed.
• Melted Butter (3 tbsp) & Olive Oil (1 tbsp): The cooking base.
• Garlic (4 cloves): Minced.
• Lemon Juice (2 tbsp): Freshly squeezed.
• Grated Parmesan (2 tbsp): For a salty, nutty topping.
• Salt, Pepper, and Red Pepper Flakes: To taste.

How to Make It

1. Prep the Oven & Sheet Pan: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
2. Arrange Asparagus: Place the trimmed asparagus on one side of the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer.
3. Prep the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
4. Add Shrimp: Place the shrimp on the other side of the sheet pan. Drizzle the garlic butter sauce over both the shrimp and the asparagus. Toss the shrimp to ensure they are fully coated.
5. Bake: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the asparagus is tender.
6. Finish: Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve warm with extra lemon wedges.
