by eatwell101
Yield: 4 servings Prep Time: 5 min Cook time: 15 min
These delicious blackened shrimp with asparagus are the perfect versatile and fast weeknight meal.
Ingredients you need for the Blackened Shrimp and Asparagus Skillet (20 Minutes)
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. ❤️
