Creamy Cajun Shrimp with Roasted Vegetables Meal Prep

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 40-50 shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 3 potatoes medium
  • 3 carrots large
  • 1 bunch asparagus
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tsp Cajun seasoning divided
  • 1 tbsp garlic minced
  • 6 tbsp butter
  • ¼ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400F.
  • Wash and slice your vegetables, cutting your potatoes into quarters, carrots into eighths, and asparagus into halves.
  • Add vegetables to a large mixing bowl and toss with olive oil and 2 tsp Cajun seasoning.
  • Spread carrots and potatoes on a large nonstick baking sheet, keeping the asparagus aside. Bake carrots and potatoes for 20 minutes.
  • Remove pan from oven and add asparagus. Return pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
  • While your vegetables are roasting, heat a large skillet pan on medium high heat. Add butter, minced garlic, and remaining 2 tsp Cajun seasoning. Cook until butter is melted and spices fragrant.
  • Add shrimp to skillet with melted “compound butter” and pan-fry until cooked all the way through.
  • Remove cooked shrimp and set aside, leaving any remaining juices and spices in the pan. Add heavy cream to the hot pan and stir to combine. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat and return shrimp to the pan with the cream sauce. Toss to coat.
  • Serve immediately with roasted vegetables, or divide into meal prep containers. If desired, pour leftover cream sauce over meals.
