Ingredients
  

  • 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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
