    If you love easy sheet pan meals, then you’re going to love this one! It’s so easy to put together and requires minimal ingredients. It’s also incredibly delicious! More shrimp recipes you may like are these Southern fried shrimp, spicy shrimp and grits, and pan seared shrimp.

    INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED

    SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR INGREDIENT QUANTITIES AND INSTRUCTIONS.

    • Shrimp – I recommend medium size peeled and deveined raw shrimp. Make sure it’s fully thawed before cooking.
    • Asparagus – It’s important that you trim off the ends because they are very tough.
    • Spices – I used a combination of
    • Olive Oil – Any type of oil will work. You can also use butter if you don’t have oil on hand.
    • Garlic – If you don’t have fresh garlic add more granulated garlic than suggested.
    • Lemon – Optional but I like to squeeze some lemon juice over the shrimp as soon as it comes out of the oven.

    TOP TIPS

    • Shrimp cook a lot quicker than asparagus so it’s crucial that you cook the asparagus for a few minutes on its own and then add the shrimp.
    • Don’t overcook the shrimp otherwise, they will turn out dry and tough.
    • Season the shrimp and asparagus generously with Kosher salt and black pepper for maximum flavor.
    • Line your baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

    HOW LONG DO I COOK THIS FOR?

    You’ll want to cook the asparagus for 6 minutes at 400 degrees F. in the oven. Next, remove the asparagus from the oven and add the shrimp to the sheet pan. Place the sheet pan back into the oven and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink. So you’ll cook this for a total of 12-14 minutes depending on the size of your shrimp and the thickness of the asparagus.

    STORAGE

    This makes the best leftovers! Place any leftovers in an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 2-3 days. Simply reheat in the microwave, oven, or air fryer until heated through.
