RECIPE: Roasted Lemon Butter Garlic Shrimp with Asparagus

I have the worst time deciding what to make for dinner sometimes and yesterday was no exception. So I started looking for simple ideas on Pinterest. There are SO many recipes that I've seen & wanted to try from Pinterest. When I saw this recipe for "ONE PAN Roasted Lemon Butter Garlic Shrimp and Asparagus" I started DROOLING. 

IT WAS AWESOME. 

And bonus: It takes a grand total of 15 minutes to get this on the table, so you don't need too much time to dedicate to dinner prep/ cooking.

(This picture does NOT do it justice)

I followed the recipe I found on Carlsbadcravings.com, but adjusted seasoning to taste. I also used COOKED shrimp so it took even less time to make.  Also added parmesan cheese on the asparagus.

Bon Appétit.
