Prepare four sheets of aluminum foil for individual packets.

Trim one bunch of asparagus and divide them up, placing them next to the shrimp.

Season the shrimp and asparagus well with salt and black pepper.

Pour the juice of 1 lemon over the shrimp and asparagus.

Sprinkle the zest of 1 lemon over the mixture.

Sprinkle 4 minced garlic cloves over the shrimp and asparagus.

Add 1 tablespoon of butter on top of the shrimp and asparagus in each packet.

Seal the center of the foil packets first, leaving space for air to circulate, then roll up the ends.

Place the foil packets onto a baking sheet.

Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F for about 11 to 13 minutes until the shrimp is cooked through.

Carefully open the packets, allowing steam to escape, and avoid overcooking the shrimp and asparagus.

Serve with a scoop of rice or a crusty baguette to soak up the garlic lemon butter sauce.
