HOW TO MAKE ONE SHEET PAN SHRIMP AND ASPARAGUS
Place a bunch of fresh asparagus...
...on a parchment paper-lined large sheet pan. Brush them with olive oil, and then sprinkle on some salt and pepper. Then, throw minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves and grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Then bake at 400 F for about 8 minutes. Yep!
OK! Now remove pan from the oven and make room for the baked shrimp skewers. Brush them with olive oil and repeat the rest of the process.
The only difference is, this time everything should bake for only 5 minutes or until shrimp turns pink. Serve the lemon garlic shrimp and asparagus with lemon wedges, and enjoy!
See... easy peasy!

I love shrimps but I have never baked them before, it sounds like a great idea! One sheet pan meals are always so good, no need of long dish washing afterward... 🙂
Raymund says
I love the summer flavours on this one. I need one of this in my life now 🙂
Yum!
Amanda says
Looks delicious! One question.. what's that in the last picture that you are spooning on the shrimp? Some kind of pesto perhaps?
Denise Browning says
Thank you, Amanda!
I was spooning a store-bought chili verde avocado sauce. But you can use pesto, chimichurri, chili verde sauce, or any other of your choice. Bon appetit!
Vivian says
Sounds good! I love both asparagus and shrimp. A little bit sour from lemon will make the flavor more delicious.
