Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb (454 g) large or jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
Seasonings and Spices:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Sauce and Garnish:
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 garlic clove, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Infuse shrimp with vibrant paprika, salt, and pepper using olive oil. Allow flavors to meld for 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
- Craft a luscious garlic sauce by blending Greek yogurt, minced garlic, zesty lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until silky smooth. Refrigerate to enhance flavors.
- Prepare asparagus by coating with olive oil, seasoning with salt and pepper. Grill or sauté at medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes, achieving a tender texture with slight caramelization.
- Cook shrimp over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, ensuring they transform to a beautiful pink and become fully opaque.
- Create a delectable base by spreading a generous layer of creamy garlic sauce in serving bowls.
- Artfully arrange grilled shrimp and charred asparagus atop the sauce.
- Elevate the dish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley and an extra dash of cracked black pepper for a final flourish.
Notes
- Marinate shrimp briefly to enhance flavor without making it tough, ensuring maximum tenderness and seasoning absorption.
- Use high-quality Greek yogurt or sour cream for a richer, creamier garlic sauce that complements the grilled seafood perfectly.
- Char asparagus lightly to develop a smoky flavor while maintaining its crisp texture and vibrant green color.
- Consider alternative protein options like chicken or tofu for those preferring non-seafood variations, adjusting cooking times accordingly.
