Notes

  • Make sure to dry the shrimp thoroughly with paper towels before seasoning; this helps achieve a nice sear and prevents the dish from becoming watery.
  • Keep an eye on the shrimp during baking; they should turn pink and opaque, usually around 10 to 15 minutes, depending on their size.
  • If you're short on time, you can substitute fresh asparagus with frozen; just adjust the cooking time down to avoid overcooking.
  • For a flavor boost, marinate the shrimp for 30 minutes before baking; it enhances the seasoning significantly without needing to wait overnight.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, and reheat gently in the oven at 350°F to maintain the shrimp's texture.
