    Finished dish: Keto Garlic Butter Shrimp and Asparagus in a cast iron skillet

    This Keto Garlic Butter Shrimp with Asparagus is one seriously easy recipe that’ll look like and taste like you spent a lot more time than 20 minutes and 5 ingredients to make.

    What You'll Need:

    • shrimp
    • asparagus tips (or cut the thick ends off of regular asparagus)
    • lemons
    • butter
    • olive oil

    That’s it, well plus a little salt and pepper. Maybe even some red chili flakes if you like a bit of spice.

    It’s just as perfect for busy weeknights as it is for a romantic date night.

    all the ingredients gathered before being cooked.

    This recipe really is a delicious and equally nutritious dinner option plus you can have leftovers for lunch the next day. These are leftovers you’ll actually be excited to finish off. Unlike that one recipe you made 3 weeks ago, you know the one. The one that keeps getting pushed back further and further into the abyss of the fridge. Forgotten until yesterday when you opened it to throw it out, and it slightly resembled your 6th-grade science fair project... We can't be the only ones??
