Instructions

Begin by preheating your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. While it’s warming up, toss the shrimp in a mixing bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Place the asparagus pieces in a separate bowl, drizzle with a bit of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
Once the grill is hot, add the seasoned shrimp and asparagus. Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
While the shrimp and asparagus are grilling, prepare the creamy garlic sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt or sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, parsley, and season with salt and pepper.
After everything is grilled to perfection, remove the shrimp and asparagus from the grill. In bowls, layer the cooked brown rice or quinoa as the base, topped with grilled shrimp, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and green onions.
Finally, drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the top and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Notes

You can substitute shrimp with grilled chicken, tofu, or your choice of vegetables for a vegetarian or vegan option.
