Ingredients
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir well to create the marinade.
Add the shrimp and asparagus pieces to the bowl and toss until everything is evenly coated with the marinade.
Spread the shrimp and asparagus in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Roast in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges if desired.
