I had some asparagus that needed cooked, but i have a feeling this dish might taste amazing with a side of pasta or, if you’re looking to preserve this meal low-carb, with zoodles (zucchini noodles). maybe even spiralized sweet potato “noodles”! Mmmhmmm.

The freshly squeezed lemon juice compliments the taste of each the shrimp and the asparagus thoroughly. It offers this already tasty dish a clean and light increase to your flavor buds.
