Ingredients
- 1½ lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 bunch asparagus
- 3 tbsp butter
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1 count lemon
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- 1¼ cups long-grain rice
- 1/2 tsp salt
Steps
- Cook the rice. Heat the oven to 400°F.
- Trim the asparagus and spread on a sheet pan with the shrimp.
- Melt the butter with minced garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes (skip the flakes for little ones) and drizzle over everything; toss to coat.
- Roast 8 to 10 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque throughout (145°F) and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
- Squeeze lemon over the pan, sprinkle with parmesan, and serve over rice.
- Picky eaters can have plain shrimp and rice without the lemon, parmesan or red pepper flakes.
- Make ahead: cook the rice and mince the garlic up to 2 days ahead and store covered in the fridge, then roast fresh.
On the side: Fresh fruit (2 min)
1 lb fruit (grapes or apples)
- Wash and slice the fruit and put it on the table.
