Time 30m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb shrimp, medium to large, peeled and deveined
1 pinch black pepper, to taste
1 lemon
4 tablespoons olive oil or 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 medium garlic cloves, sliced thinly
3/4 lb asparagus, tough ends snapped off and cut into 2 inch lengths (about 2 cups)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Place shrimp on paper towels and dry very well.
  • Sprinkle shrimp with a bit of the pepper.
  • Using a vegetable peeler, peel off strips of the lemon peel and then cut the strips into very thin long pieces; be sure to peel only the yellow part of the peel, not the bitter white part.
  • Cut lemon in half and juice it into a small dish, removing seeds.
  • Heat a deep 12 inch skillet (preferably NOT non-stick) over medium high heat for 1 minute.
  • Add 2 Tbsp of the oil and heat until it's shimmering hot -- just a few seconds.
  • Add the shrimp in a single layer and do not disturb it; let cook for about 2 minutes until browned.
  • Turn shrimp over and brown the other side, about 1 1/2 minutes, then transfer to a plate. Shrimp should not be cooked through.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and add garlic, stirring for 30 seconds.
  • Add asparagus, lemon zest strips, red pepper flakes and cook, stirring for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add chicken broth and cover, simmering for 1-2 minutes until asparagus is almost done.
  • Stir cornstarch with 1 Tbsp water and stir into the pan.
  • Add shrimp back to the pan and cook another 1-2 minutes until done.
  • Stir in 1 Tbsp lemon juice, then taste and add more juice and pepper if needed.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slightly briny smell. Asparagus should be bright green and have tight tips. And use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cook very quickly, so it's important to watch them closely. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a large skillet or wok. This will give the shrimp and asparagus room to cook evenly. If you use a smaller pan, the shrimp and asparagus will crowd each other and won't cook properly.
  • Season the shrimp and asparagus generously. Garlic, salt, and pepper are all essential seasonings for this dish. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as paprika, chili powder, or Old Bay seasoning.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your liking. If you like your shrimp more spicy, add more chili powder. If you prefer your asparagus more tender, cook it for a few minutes longer. And if you don't have lemon juice on hand, you can use lime juice instead.

Conclusion:

Garlic shrimp with asparagus and lemon is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a healthy and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a simple but delicious seafood recipe, give this one a try.
