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 paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, asparagus, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is well coated.
Thread the shrimp onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand).
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. Remove from the grill and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the 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 with grilled shrimp and asparagus, and drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce.
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.
