Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the Shrimp & Sauce:

  • 2 lbs raw shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1 stick
  • 1 cluster garlic
  • 5 medium lemons
  • 1/2 tbsp pepper
  • 1/2 tbsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup Jasmine Rice

For the Asparagus:

  • 1 pound asparagus
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
  • 1/2 tbsp garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Begin cooking rice, following your preferred method. I love my rice cooker!
    1 cup Jasmine Rice
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  • Trim your asparagus, then spread in a single layer on one of the baking sheets.
    1 pound asparagus
  • Season asparagus with seasoned salt, pepper, & garlic powder
    1 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp seasoned salt, 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
  • Throw the asparagus into the oven. It'll take slightly longer to roast than your shrimp (20-25 minutes). Remove from oven once until tender and lightly browned at the tips.
  • While asparagus is roasting, throw your stick of butter in a hot sauce pan over low heat. Add the garlic & sauté for 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Juice 3 lemons & stir into the garlic butter mixture.
    1/2 cup unsalted butter, 1 cluster garlic, 5 medium lemons
  • Arrange shrimp in a 9x13 glass baking dish. Pour the garlic lemon butter mixture over the shrimp & season with pepper & red pepper flakes. Toss to coat evenly.

  • Once the asparagus has been roasting for about 5 minutes, place the shrimp in the oven on the second rack.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and cooked through.
  • Remove both the shrimp and asparagus from the oven.
  • Separate the shrimp & asparagus into 4 separate dishes, drizzled with any extra lemon butter from the shrimp pan. Be sure to garnish each serving with 2 lemon wedges for some extra zest!
