Ingredients

1 pound uncooked extra-large shrimp peeled
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon onion powder
3 tablespoons grass-fed ghee butter or extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic minced
2 cups mushrooms sliced
1 bunch of asparagus ends trimmed and cut in half
1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (optional)

Instructions

In a bowl, add the shrimp, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and onion powder. Mix everything well.
In a cast iron skillet, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil or grass-fed ghee butter over medium heat.
Add the garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the shrimp, and sauté for about 4 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook them because they will have a rubbery texture. Set aside.
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the mushrooms. Sauté for 5 minutes. Then, add the asparagus, and cook until it’s tender. Stir occasionally.
Return the shrimp to the skillet, and mix everything well to combine.
Garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy!

Notes

Do you love one-pan meals with shrimp and lots of veggies? Great because I have lots of other recipes just like this one for you. Try this Chimichurri Shrimp Broccoli Skillet, and you'll be amazed by the flavour. I also love this Shrimp, Bell Pepper and Onions Skillet and the Sweet Potato, Kale and Shrimp Skillet because they are all done in 20 minutes or so, super-delicious, and loaded with veggies. You'll love them. I promise!!
Try to use the largest skillet you have, as it’ll help prevent the ingredients from overcrowding.
The ends of asparagus are tough, so make sure to remove them!
Buy shrimp that is pre-peeled to save yourself the effort from doing it.
To store: Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
