How to Make Hot Garlic Shrimp Asparagus

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Arrange 4 slices of bread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and toasted.
  3. While bread toasts, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add 1 pound asparagus spears, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until asparagus is bright green and slightly tender.
  5. Add 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined) to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until shrimp turn pink and opaque.
  6. Stir in 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional) and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.
  7. Remove from heat. Serve the shrimp and asparagus mixture immediately over the toasted bread slices. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
