I adore shrimp and keep a bag in my freezer for quick dinners! This recipe is a keeper, we are all so busy, yet in need of a tasty and nourishing meal.
Enjoy, Deb!!! This is already a family fave at my household. My hubby loved although he is not a fan of seafood.
Yum, sounds like my kind of dinner!
Thank you, Chris! It is great to have you again here.
Sheet pan dinners are fun, aren’t they? And this one looks so tasty and colorful! Really good stuff — thanks.
OH MY! I actually have shrimp and asparagus in the fridge right now… Must try this! <3 – http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com
Thank you and enjoy! My daughter and I love this dish.
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… 🙂
I love the summer flavours on this one. I need one of this in my life now 🙂
Yum!
Looks delicious! One question.. what’s that in the last picture that you are spooning on the shrimp? Some kind of pesto perhaps?
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!
Sounds good! I love both asparagus and shrimp. A little bit sour from lemon will make the flavor more delicious.
