Happy Monday, meal preppers! This week I’m highlighting one of my fave meal prep recipes – Spicy Garlic Shrimp and Asparagus! It’s a variation on a recipe from long, long ago but uses asparagus instead of broccoli, which is honestly just better for my digestive system. You can really use whatever veggie you like best though.
I normally like to use peeled, deveined, tail-off shrimp to make it easier to shovel this deliciousness down my pie-hole, but dang if shrimp aren’t prettier for pictures with their tails on. *Insert shrug emoji here* Do what you like best – frozen, fresh, tails on, tails off, etc. I definitely recommend against using the pre-cooked variety though.
Enjoy!
