Shrimp, Tomato, and Asparagus Sheet Pan Dinner
There are plenty of nights where an easy dinner is required. This is so easy to put together and quick to cook. There is a pleasant surprise when you bite into the baked cherry tomatoes!
With this dinner, I can go enjoy my son's ballgame without stressing over what are we going to have when we get home. No need to pick up fast food on a busy night, and that makes this mom very happy!
