Creamy Garlic Shrimp & Asparagus Skillet

How to make it

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. 2

   On a baking sheet, toss the trimmed asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper. Roast for 10 to 12 minutes, or until tender-crisp. You want it slightly browned and still a little firm.

3. 3

   While the asparagus roasts, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for about one minute until it smells wonderfully fragrant. Be careful not to let it brown.

4. 4

   Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, just until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

5. 5

   Pour the heavy cream into the same skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and creates a smooth, luscious sauce. If it is too thick, you can add a tiny splash of water.

6. 6

   Return the cooked shrimp and roasted asparagus to the skillet with the creamy garlic sauce. Toss everything gently to coat. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-carb meal!
