Ingredients

Scale

1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1 lb fresh asparagus (trimmed)
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
½ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat your grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat.
Toss the peeled, deveined shrimp and trimmed asparagus with olive oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes in a bowl.
Place the asparagus on the grill and cook for 3-5 minutes, flipping once until tender-crisp.
Add the shrimp to the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and pink, then remove everything from the heat.
In a small pan over medium heat, sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the heavy cream and simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth.
Divide the shrimp and asparagus into bowls and drizzle generously with the warm, creamy garlic sauce before serving.

Notes

Use frozen shrimp if fresh is unavailable, ensuring they are fully thawed and patted dry before seasoning. You can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream for a lighter sauce. If using thin asparagus, reduce grilling time by one minute to ensure they remain crisp.
