Healthy Fish & Seafood Recipes Healthy Shellfish Recipes Healthy Shrimp Recipes Healthy Grilled & BBQ Shrimp Recipes Garlic Shrimp & Asparagus Kebabs 5.0 (1) 1 Review Shrimp and asparagus both cook very quickly, making them a perfect pair on the grill. We've seasoned them in delicate flavors--lemon, garlic and dill--so their natural sweetness can shine through. Pick fat asparagus stalks for easier skewering.

Divide the marinade between two large sealable plastic bags. Add shrimp to one and asparagus to the other. Agitate to combine, seal and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat grill to medium. Thread the shrimp and asparagus alternately onto 8 skewers, dividing evenly among the skewers. Oil the grill rack (see Tip) and immediately add the kebabs. Cook, turning every 2 to 3 minutes, until the shrimp are bright pink and just cooked through and the asparagus is tender, 5 to 6 minutes total. Tips Tip: Oiling a grill rack before you grill foods helps ensure that the food won't stick. Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.) When grilling delicate foods like tofu and fish, it is helpful to coat the food with cooking spray.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
