Instructions
- Heat oven to 425°F. Cut 1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch chunks, slice 1/2 medium onion, trim 1 lb asparagus, and mince 4 garlic cloves. Zest and juice 1 lemon. Chop 2 tbsp parsley and 1 tsp thyme.
- Toss the potatoes with 1 tbsp oil, half the garlic, half the thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread on a sheet pan and roast 15 minutes.
- Add 1 lb asparagus, 8 oz sliced baby bella mushrooms, and the sliced onion to the pan. Toss with a little more oil, salt, and pepper. Roast 10-12 minutes more until the potatoes are tender and the vegetables are browned at the edges.
- Meanwhile pat dry 12 oz shrimp and season with salt, pepper, and a little lemon zest.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high with 1 tbsp oil. Sear the shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side until just pink. Add the remaining garlic for the last 30 seconds.
- Lightly smash some of the roasted potatoes with the back of a spoon right on the pan. Drizzle the vegetables with half the lemon juice.
