Directions

1. To make the blackened shrimp and asparagus skillet: In a large bowl, add the shrimp, chili powder, paprika, onion powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Coat well and set aside.

2. In a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat, add one tablespoon of oil and cook seasoned shrimp on each side for 2-3 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Remove to a shallow plate and set aside.

3.  In the same skillet (clean up if necessary, to remove brown bits), add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter and reduce heat to medium. Add vegetable stock, lemon juice, and sriracha, and bring to a simmer. Allow the sauce to reduce a little, then add the asparagus and cook the asparagus until crisp-tender, approx. 4-6 minutes, turning the asparagus regularly to coat into the sauce.

4. Push the asparagus on the side and add blackened shrimp to the pan. Squeeze a dash of lemon juice on the blackened shrimp and asparagus. Allow reheating for 1-2 minutes, remove grilled shrimp and asparagus from heat, garnish with parsley, lemon slices, and red crushed chili pepper if you like. Serve your blackened shrimp and asparagus immediately, enjoy! You can serve the blackened shrimp and asparagus with a side of zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, mashed potato, or just plain regular rice. ❤️

Tips for the blackened shrimp recipe

  • You can use shrimp with tails on or off to make blackened shrimp. 
  • Buy shrimp (or prawns) already deveined, shelled, and cleaned to save time.
  • You can save time cooking asparagus by blanching it in boiling water for 2 minutes and then soaking it in ice water to stop cooking. Then you can finish cooking asparagus as per the recipe.
  • If spice and shrimp leave too many brown bits, rinse and clean the skillet to avoid asparagus having a bitter taste.
  • You can buy cajun blackening seasoning to save time when prepping for the recipe.

    This recipe is SO TASTY! It's definitely a go-to when shrimp is on sale at the store or asparagus in on sale. I only wonder though- is the shrimp I buy from the store supposed to be raw or cooked?

    EXCELLENT! Super easy, delicious dish!!! When my parents visit I need to have meals that dont seem healthy but are LOL. This totally has them fooled - I leave out the heat and it is still SUPER flavorful!!! I add extra broth to have a bit more of a broth to go over the rice. This recipe is a keeper!

    Made several times. One of my favorites! Never disappoints. Very flavorful. Be cautious not to overcook the shrimp or they will get tough.
