Roasted Shrimp and Asparagus

This post may contain affiliate links. Please see my Privacy Policy and Disclaimer for more information.

Roasted Shrimp are absolutely divine. I was worried cooking them this way would dry them out. This is the best way I have found to cook shrimp that keep them juicy! This is an easy recipe to throw together quickly, bake, and have on the table within 20 minutes! It’s a good weeknight meal when time is short.

I have used both asparagus and broccoli in this recipe and both turned out great (although the broccoli doesn’t take nearly as long to roast). For the purposes of this recipe post I have included asparagus but feel free to substitute in broccoli (or any other vegetable for that matter) and adjust the cooking time accordingly, i.e. keep an eye on it while it’s in the oven!

    1. I am so glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for the heads up on the lemon zest. I mix it in with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes and the shrimp before booking. I will definitely update the recipe! 🙂
