I don’t know about you, but I’m always on the lookout for quick and easy recipes.

The trick is to make that meal hearty enough to satisfy and tasty enough for the whole family to enjoy. I know, that’s a tall order! That’s why I’ve compiled a list of my top 5 15-minute recipes. Try a few of them out this week!

Even though it’s a dish that’s made up of just a handful of ingredients and is super quick to come together, it’s positively full of flavor thanks to a garlicky butter sauce and plenty of tender, earthy mushrooms.

15-Minute Garlic Butter Shrimp and Asparagus

You can take one look at this skillet meal and see all that succulent shrimp and tender asparagus and know it’s going to be good, but I have two more words for you: Garlic. Butter. We all know those are two ingredients that make everything better, and that’s certainly the case here. While shrimp and asparagus don’t necessarily need any help in achieving deliciousness, tossing them in a garlicky, buttery sauce that’s infused with lemon doesn’t hurt matters. Get the recipe here!
