Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create the wonderful Sheet Pan Lemon Butter Garlic Shrimp with Asparagus:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your shrimp and asparagus cook evenly.
2. Prepare the Pan: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with non-stick spray for easier cleanup.
3. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Prepare the Vegetables: Spread the asparagus evenly on one side of the baking sheet. Drizzle with half of the lemon butter mixture, tossing to coat slightly.
5. Add the Shrimp: Place the shrimp in a single layer on the other side of the sheet pan. Pour the remaining lemon butter mixture over the shrimp, ensuring they are well coated.
6. Bake the Dish: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and the asparagus is tender yet crisp.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley for color and flavor. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
