π©βπ³ How to Make It
1. Prepare the Sheet Pan
Preheat the oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, toss the shrimp with the melted butter, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Thread 4β5 shrimp onto each soaked wooden skewer.
In a separate bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil and a pinch of salt.
2. Bake Until Perfectly Roasted
Arrange the shrimp skewers and asparagus on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each skewer. Lightly spray with cooking spray and bake for 10β12 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and lightly golden and the asparagus is tender with slightly charred tips.
3. Make the Lemon-Herb Crema
While the shrimp bakes, whisk together the Greek yogurt, parsley, chives, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, and salt until smooth, creamy, and well combined.
4. Assemble and Serve
Arrange the roasted asparagus on a serving platter and place the garlic butter shrimp skewers on top. Serve the lemon-herb dipping crema on the side for dipping or drizzling.
5. Garnish
Finish with fresh lemon wedges, extra chopped parsley, and a light sprinkle of smoked paprika. Serve immediately while the shrimp are hot and juicy.
