Ingredients
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
12 medium asparagus spears, trimmed
2 tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 lemon, juiced
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil.
Sauté garlic until fragrant (1-2 minutes).
Add shrimp and cook 2-3 minutes per side until pink. Transfer to a plate.
Toss asparagus with leftover oil in skillet. Roast 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Return shrimp to skillet. Stir in lemon juice, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Notes
Substitute asparagus with broccoli or green beans. For richer flavor, add 1 tbsp butter during sauté (halal compliant). Serve over quinoa or brown rice for heartiness.
