Step by Step: Spicy Shrimp

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

2. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in a deep oven pan. Need to make sure the shrimp isn't stacked on top of each other. You want a single layer.

3. Pour the melted butter on top of the shrimp and toss to coat.

4. Sprinkle the shrimp with the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, crushed red pepper and Parmesan.

5. Bake until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 8 minutes. If you want the Parmesan to brown, finish by broiling for about 1 minute.

6. Transfer the baked shrimp to a serving platter and spoon the pan juices on top and serve. Enjoy!

Step by Step: Asparagus Medley

1. When you put your shrimp in the oven is when you need to put your asparagus in. Get out a sheet pan. Spray with cooking oil. Add asparagus to pan and season with a little bit of olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic salt (TRICK: garlic salt is by choice). Cook for 8 minutes (Trick: if you have thick asparagus you may need to go longer. You want them not to be hard but not flimsy)

2. While asparagus is cooking, make your toppings by combining the basil, parsley, lemon zest, and garlic, halved tomatoes, and mozzarella balls in a small bowl. Set aside.

3. Your shrimp and asparagus now should be done.

4. Take your mixed toppings and pour it over the top of your asparagus. Place back into the oven for 5 minutes.

5. Once done take out and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice.

6. Sprinkle a little salt and black pepper for taste and Enjoy!
