Instructions
Creating the Grilled Shrimp Bowl with Asparagus & Creamy Garlic Sauce is simple if you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Preheat Your Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high.
2. Prepare Shrimp: In a mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for about 5 minutes.
3. Grill Shrimp: Place the shrimp on the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp turns pink and opaque. Remove from grill and set aside.
4. Cook Asparagus: In a large skillet, add a splash of olive oil. Sauté the asparagus over medium-high heat for about 5-6 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Remove from heat.
5. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for approximately 30 seconds. Then, pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Reduce heat, and stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
6. Combine: Add the grilled shrimp back to the skillet, mixing them well with the sauce.
7. Serve: Divide the sautéed asparagus between bowls. Top with the creamy garlic shrimp mixture.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley before enjoying.
By following these steps, you’ll achieve a beautifully balanced dish that excites the palate.
