One Sheet Pan Lemon Garlic Parmesan Shrimp and Asparagus
Description
One Sheet Pan Lemon Garlic Parmesan Shrimp and Asparagus centers on seasoning fresh asparagus and large shrimp with olive oil, garlic, thyme, and Parmesan cheese before baking. The asparagus starts roasting alone to soften beneath a layer of garlic, thyme leaves, and cheese. The shrimp, arranged on skewers and brushed with the same mixture, share the pan for a short finish until pink and cooked through. The lemon halves added last lend fresh acidity to balance the richness.
The baking process builds a gentle roasted flavor on the asparagus, keeping it crisp-tender, while the shrimp attain a lightly garlicky crust on their seeded Parmesan coating. Combining the thyme and lemon introduces herbal brightness suited to seafood and vegetables alike.
This dish can be served on its own as a lean, vegetable-forward entree or paired with a fresh salad or noodles to round out the meal. It is uncomplicated to prepare and uses just one pan for easy cleanup.
