One Pan Asparagus Shrimp Kielbasa Bake
Minimal Prep Work; No Dishes
A Great Dinner No Way You Would Pass

One Pan Asparagus Shrimp Kielbasa Bake is a dinner that everybody is going to eat with their hands.  I like to shell the shrimp because the seasonings can get on the flesh instead of the shell which is more flavorful.

But you can totally skip the shelling part and let everybody to take care of that while they enjoy the food later. If that’s the case, you only need 5 minutes prep time for this one-pan dinner.

CHEF NOTES

This is also a recipe that you can get in and out of the grocery store like a snap.  The fish counter always have ready to cook shrimp.  If you love a Friday night fish dinner, this is an awesome alternative to feed a good crowd with very minimal prep work.

I used pre-cooked Kielbasa in this recipe.  Feel free to replace it with chicken sausage, pre-cooked Chorizo or Andouille sausage.  It depends on how much heat and spice you can take.

If you need to double the quantity, evenly separate all ingredients into 2 same size baking sheets.  Cook time will be the same.
