A quick and healthy sheet pan dinner featuring shrimp and asparagus glazed with a sweet and tangy honey lime sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights with minimal prep and cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (medium or large size)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 large lime)
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus (about 1 pound), trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Trim the woody ends of the asparagus by bending each stalk until it snaps naturally. Place the asparagus on a sheet pan, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then toss to coat evenly.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together honey, fresh lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to make the honey lime glaze.
  4. Toss the peeled and deveined shrimp into the glaze, making sure each piece is evenly coated. Let it marinate for about 5 minutes while you arrange the asparagus.
  5. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer alongside the asparagus on the sheet pan, ensuring there’s space between pieces for even roasting.
  6. Roast everything in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until shrimp turn pink and opaque and asparagus is tender-crisp with lightly browned tips. Watch closely to avoid overcooking.
  7. Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes for extra caramelization on the glaze, but do not leave unattended.
  8. Remove from oven and serve immediately.

Notes

Marinate shrimp briefly (about 5 minutes) to avoid ‘cooking’ them with lime juice. Use fresh lime juice and zest for best flavor. Keep shrimp spaced out on the pan to ensure caramelization. Watch cooking time closely to prevent rubbery shrimp. Optional broil at the end for extra glaze crispiness. Substitute snap peas or green beans for asparagus if out of season. Maple syrup or agave can replace honey if needed.
