Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash and trim the asparagus, cutting them into 2-inch pieces.

In a mixing bowl, toss the chopped asparagus with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, add minced garlic, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.

Squeeze in the lemon juice and let the mixture simmer for an additional minute.

Roast the asparagus in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and lightly browned.

Combine the asparagus with the garlic shrimp in the skillet and toss gently. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley or red pepper flakes.
