Sheet-Pan Chipotle-Lime Shrimp Bake image

I like to make this seafood dinner for company because it tastes amazing, but takes very little effort to throw together. Use asparagus, Broccolini or a mix of the two. It's all about what's available for a decent price. -Colleen Delawder, Herndon, Virginia
