  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 pound (about 450 grams) large shrimp peeled and deveined with tails removed if desired

1 pound (about 450 grams) asparagus trimmed and either left whole or chopped into thirds

3 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 teaspoons minced garlic

1 teaspoon dried Italian herb blend or Herbs de Provence

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1-First Steps: Prep and Heat Rinse the shrimp and asparagus under cold water to clean them. Peel and devein the shrimp if needed, and trim the asparagus as mentioned earlier. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat to build that flavorful garlic butter sauce base.

2-First Steps: Once the pan is hot, add 3 teaspoons of minced garlic and stir for about a minute until it smells amazing. This step infuses the oil and butter with garlic, setting the stage for the rest of the dish. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning, as fresh garlic can turn quickly.

3-Cooking and Finishing: Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and firm. Then, toss in the asparagus and sautΓ© for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, so it stays crisp yet tender. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of the herb blend for extra flavor, and season with salt and pepper.

4-Cooking and Finishing: Finally, mix everything together and top with 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese for a cheesy finish. Serve right away to enjoy the full taste of asparagus and shrimp. For more shrimp recipes, visit a reliable source for seafood ideas.
