A delicious and healthy Grilled Shrimp Bowl featuring asparagus and a creamy garlic sauce, perfect for a nutritious meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (for the creamy garlic sauce)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (for the creamy garlic sauce)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (for the creamy garlic sauce)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for the creamy garlic sauce)
- Salt and pepper to taste (for the creamy garlic sauce)
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Thread the shrimp onto skewers for easy grilling. Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from the grill and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, toss the asparagus with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill the asparagus for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.
- While the shrimp and asparagus are grilling, prepare the creamy garlic sauce by mixing together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked quinoa among four bowls. Top with grilled shrimp, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and a drizzle of creamy garlic sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the shrimp marinade.
- Substitute the quinoa with brown rice or cauliflower rice for a different base.
