INSTRUCTIONS
Place 28 oz baby potatoes into a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave on medium power for 15 minutes.
In another bowl, mix 13 oz shrimp with 1 tbsp Italian seasoning, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp Cajun seasoning, 1/2 tsp cayenne powder, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, and 1/4 tsp salt. Set aside.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp butter along with 12 oz asparagus and stir until soft. Set aside.
Carefully retrieve the potatoes from the bowl. In the same skillet add another 1 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp butter. Add the potatoes and leave them to sear for a solid 4 minutes or until they’re all slightly blistered. Season with 1/4 tsp salt, and set aside.
Add the marinated shrimp along with the remaining butter (1 tbsp). Turn the heat to medium-high and sear both sides for 2 minutes each or until they’re beautifully browned. Turn off the heat.
Sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped parsley on top, and enjoy with the cooked vegetables.
