1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, asparagus, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the shrimp and asparagus mixture evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Drizzle the lemon juice over the shrimp and asparagus, then sprinkle with lemon zest and chopped parsley.
Gently toss everything on the pan to combine the flavors.
Serve immediately.
