Shrimp Flatbread
Shrimp is amazing! Asparagus is amazing! Flatbread is amazing! When the three come together, boy is it delicious! This Shrimp and Asparagus Flatbread was cheesy, garlicky, kinda crunchy, kinda green! It was the whole package! The shrimp were so buttery and the asparagus was tender and zingy! The best part is this recipe calls for two flatbreads! Our family of four polished off one for supper, and we had another for later. Heck of a late-night snack and absolutely delicious!
Ingredients
For the flatbread:
- 2 Flatbreads - about 13 x 6
- 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 lb asparagus ends trimmed
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ¼ cup parmesan freshly shredded
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For the sauce:
- 15 oz whole milk ricotta cheese
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese freshly shredded
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp green onion thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp parsley minced
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- ¼ tsp lemon pepper seasoning
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp dried basil
For serving:
- crushed red pepper
- green onion thinly sliced
- parmesan freshly shredded
Instructions
To prep the shrimp and asparagus:
- Preheat oven to 425 ℉.
- In a large pot, bring 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil, sprinkle a touch of salt in.
- If trimmed asparagus is still pretty thick, use a vegetable peeler to thin them out a bit. Place asparagus in a steamer basket and steam for 5 minutes.
- In a skillet, melt butter on medium heat.
- Add shrimp, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often. Shrimp are done when they are pink.
- With a slotted spoon, remove shrimp and garlic from the skillet and set aside in a bowl
To make the sauce and build the shrimp flatbread:
- In a large bowl, mix all sauce ingredients until combined.
- Evenly smear the sauce on the flatbreads then add the shrimp and the garlic bits, even better if you can get some of that buttery lemony juice incorporated! Then add asparagus
- Finish flatbreads with remaining parmesan evenly distributed and bake to package instructions. For me that was 9-11 minutes because I used a baking sheet. All flatbreads are different so be sure to adjust as needed.
- Broil for a minute or two on high if desired to crisp and melt!
To serve:
- Garnish Shrimp and Asparagus Flatbread with additional crushed red pepper, green onion, and parm if desired!
- Allow flatbreads to rest for a few minutes before slicing each one into 4 slices. Enjoy!
