Description
A delicious Grilled Shrimp Bowl featuring tender shrimp and asparagus, topped with a creamy garlic sauce, perfect for a healthy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over 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 easier grilling. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Grill the shrimp and asparagus for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are opaque and the asparagus is tender-crisp. Remove from heat.
- In a small bowl, mix together sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to create the creamy garlic sauce.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among four bowls, top with grilled shrimp and asparagus, and drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the shrimp marinade or drizzle some hot sauce over the finished bowl.
- Substitute the asparagus with other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for a different flavor and texture.
