Quick Answer

Toss thawed Kirkland shrimp and asparagus with garlic, olive oil, lemon, and red pepper, then roast at 425°F for 8–10 minutes until shrimp are pink and asparagus is tender-crisp. Ready in 20 minutes; serves 4.

Shrimp and asparagus have almost the same cook time, which makes them perfect for a sheet pan dinner. Everything goes on one pan, hits the oven at high heat, and comes out with the asparagus tender and slightly charred and the shrimp pink and juicy. Costco's large Kirkland shrimp have enough body to hold up to oven heat without getting rubbery.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with foil.

  2. 2

    Toss asparagus with 1.5 tablespoons olive oil, half the garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread on the sheet pan.

  3. 3

    Roast asparagus for 5 minutes alone (it needs a head start over the shrimp).

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, toss shrimp with remaining olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, garlic powder, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, and salt.

  5. 5

    Nestle shrimp between the asparagus spears on the same pan. Return to oven for 8–10 minutes until shrimp is pink and opaque.

  6. 6

    Squeeze lemon juice over everything. Sprinkle with Parmesan and fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why roast the asparagus before adding the shrimp?+
Asparagus takes 12–15 minutes to roast properly; shrimp only takes 8–10 minutes. Adding them at the same time results in either overcooked shrimp or undercooked asparagus. The 5-minute head start syncs their cook times perfectly.
Can I use frozen asparagus?+
Fresh asparagus is strongly preferred here. Frozen asparagus releases too much water in the oven, which steams the shrimp instead of roasting it. If you must use frozen, thaw it completely and pat very dry before using.
What can I serve this with?+
It's a complete, low-carb dinner on its own. For a heartier meal, serve over orzo, rice, or couscous. A loaf of crusty bread to soak up the garlicky pan juices is never a bad idea.
