15 Minute Garlic Shrimp

Dinners can be hard. Especially with kids and a husband and laundry and work; the list can go on.  That is why this dinner is 15 minutes!  Yes! I said 15 minutes. 15 minute garlic shrimp changes the game.

That is what you will find on A Table Top Affair. It is so important to make dinner, to sit down at the table and communicate.  Take a break from everything going on in life – it will be there when the dishes are clean. But for a moment, breathe. Enjoy the time with your family or friends and I hope with these recipes you will begin to enjoy the kitchen.

Think about that Chick Fil A line… it’s going to take you about 15 minutes – why not make fresh food for your family?  You can do it!

Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high head. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant. Top with paprika.
2. Take your thawed shrimp and cook them for about 1 minute searing both sides. Squeeze lemon juice over them and set aside on a plate. 
3. Throw your butter into the pan along with your asparagus and quartered potatoes.  Cook for about 8 minutes flipping as needed.
4. Add your shrimp back in the pan to heat back up and serve!

Notes

• I like fresh garlic for this, but pre-minced garlic will work just fine as long as you include a little brine with the garlic.
• A great alternative to frozen shrimp is the fresh shrimp ring.
• I do not like my asparagus and potatoes soft – so this recipe makes a firm, sautéed asparagus and a nice crunchy potato (depending on how thick the potatoes are which quartered – the smaller the better)
