Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt Unsalted Butter (2 Tbsp).
step 2
Season the Medium Raw Peeled Deveined Tail-On Shrimps (2 lb) with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste).
step 3
Once the butter is melted, cook the shrimp for about 1-2 minutes on each side. The shrimp will look opaque.
step 4
Sauté the Garlic (2 cloves), Red Bell Pepper (1), Italian Seasoning (1 tsp), Cayenne Pepper (1 tsp), and Smoked Paprika (as needed) until fragrant. Stir to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the shrimp has cooked through. Take out the shrimp and set aside.
step 5
To the same pan over medium heat, add the remaining Unsalted Butter (1 Tbsp) and Olive Oil (1 Tbsp). Once the butter has melted, add the Asparagus (3 cups).
step 6
Cook the asparagus until fork-tender and season with Salt (to taste). Approximately 5-6 minutes, but may vary depending on how thick the asparagus is.
step 7
Add the shrimp back to the pan. Squeeze half of a Lemon (1/2) over the top of the shrimp and asparagus. Allow it to cook for 1-2 minutes.
step 8
Remove from heat. Garnish with Fresh Parsley (2 Tbsp) and Lemon Slices (1/2) before serving.
