Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb fresh or frozen peeled and deveined shrimp

  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil (divided)

  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the shrimp by mixing 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add shrimp and let marinate for 15-30 minutes.
  2. While shrimp marinates, snap off tough ends of asparagus. Toss with remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using skewers for shrimp, thread them onto skewers.
  4. Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred; grill asparagus for about 5-7 minutes until tender yet crisp.
  5. For creamy garlic sauce, heat heavy cream with minced garlic in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through; add salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Assemble bowls by placing grilled shrimp and asparagus over rice or quinoa. Drizzle with creamy garlic sauce before serving.
