Description
A delicious and healthy Grilled Shrimp Bowl featuring asparagus and a creamy garlic sauce, perfect for a quick meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. In a large bowl, combine shrimp, asparagus, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is well coated.
- Thread the shrimp onto skewers for easy grilling. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
- Grill the shrimp and asparagus for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the asparagus is tender but still crisp. Remove from the grill and set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked quinoa among four bowls. Top each bowl with grilled shrimp and asparagus, then drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious grilled shrimp bowl!
Notes
- For added flavor, try marinating the shrimp in a mixture of lime juice, olive oil, and chili flakes for 30 minutes before grilling.
- You can also substitute the quinoa with brown rice or cauliflower rice for a different base.
