Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 bunch asparagus, trimmed

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Zest of 1 lemon

2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt, to taste

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. In a bowl, combine the shrimp, lemon juice, lemon zest, lemon pepper seasoning, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat well and let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

    Cook the Asparagus: While the shrimp is marinating, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus to the skillet and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until the asparagus is tender-crisp. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté the Shrimp: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Make sure to stir frequently for even cooking.

        Combine Ingredients: Once the shrimp are cooked, add the sautéed asparagus back into the skillet. Stir gently to combine and heat through for another 1-2 minutes.

          Serve: Transfer the mixture to a serving platter, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.

            Enjoy your delicious and healthy Lemon Pepper Shrimp & Asparagus meal!
