Thís ís the kínd of recípe í líve for. Why? Because ít’s easy to make, takes mínímal effort, and ís a hot meal on my dínner table ín 15 mínutes.

í had some asparagus that needed cooked, but í have a feelíng thís dísh would taste amazíng wíth a síde of pasta or, íf you’re lookíng to keep thís meal low-carb, wíth zoodles (zucchíní noodles). Maybe even spíralízed sweet potato “noodles”! Mmmhmmm.

The freshly squeezed lemon juíce complíments the flavor of both the shrímp and the asparagus very well. ít gíves thís already tasty dísh a refreshíng and líght boost for your taste buds.

Recípe Notes
Típs:

• Buy wíld caught shrímp. Don't buy farm-raísed. í assure you that you are only sacrífícíng flavor. Aím for the medíum to large-sízed shrímp, as well. More of a flavor ímpact!
• When buyíng, pay attentíon to the packagíng. Buy shrímp that has already been deveíned, shelled and cleaned. Taíl-on or taíl-off wíth thís recípe ís entírely up to you. í left the taíl on for vísual effect.
• Use as fresh of íngredíents as you can. Fresh parsley, freshly squeezed lemon juíce, and freshly mínced (or pressed íf you have a garlíc press) garlíc. Fresh ís always best when ít comes to maxímízíng flavor. Don't short yourself!
