2. Prep the Shrimp & Asparagus

• Shrimp: Toss with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt & pepper.

• Asparagus: Toss with olive oil, salt & pepper.

• When potatoes have 10–12 minutes left, add asparagus to the same pan or a separate pan.

• When potatoes have 8–10 minutes left, add shrimp to the pan (shrimp cooks fast).

• Drizzle any pan juices from steak or shrimp over the top.

• Optional: sprinkle with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon for brightness.

Tips for Timing

• Potatoes take longest → start them first.

• Asparagus and shrimp are quick → roast the last 10–12 minutes with potatoes.

• Steak is fast → sear while potatoes & veggies finish in the oven.

If you want, I can also make a one-pan version where everything (steak, shrimp, potatoes, asparagus) cooks in the oven or sheet pan for minimal cleanup and perfectly timed results.
