LEMON GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP WITH ASPARAGUS

This is the kind of recipe I live for. Why? Because it’s easy to make, takes minimal effort, and is a hot meal on my dinner table in 15 minutes.

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

The freshly squeezed lemon juice compliments the flavor of both the shrimp and the asparagus very well. It gives this already tasty dish a refreshing and light boost for your taste buds.

Enter into my life the newly purchased OXO Good Grips Garlic Press. I was simply amazed at how quickly and how easily it was to peel the garlic, snip the ends, and press it. VIOLA! Minced garlic with one squeeze. Needless to say, I was/am a happy camper.

And hey, I feel like I am doing my fingertips a service in saving them from getting snipped! Mincing little cloves of garlic is not for the faint at heart. Or, in my case, the klutzy people. I keep the bandaids on hand.

So if you’re looking to save yourself some time, sticky fingers, and a garlic-smelling cutting board – you are going to love the use of a garlic press!
