Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Base and Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Ignite the grill to a medium-high temperature, creating an ideal cooking environment for the shrimp.
- Liberally coat the shrimp with a blend of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper, ensuring each morsel is evenly seasoned.
- Position the seasoned shrimp on the heated grill, allowing them to sizzle and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side until they transform into a vibrant pink color and achieve a perfectly tender texture.
- While the shrimp are grilling, craft the luxurious Garlic Parmesan sauce by whisking together creamy mayonnaise, finely grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, bright lemon juice, and a delicate balance of salt and pepper.
- Select serving bowls and create a fluffy bed of warm, steamed rice as the foundation for the dish.
- Carefully arrange the freshly grilled shrimp atop the rice, positioning them with an artistic flair.
- Generously cascade the velvety Garlic Parmesan sauce over the shrimp, allowing it to cascade and pool around the succulent seafood and fragrant rice.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked rice or quick-cooking rice to save time and simplify meal preparation.
- Choose large or jumbo shrimp for a more substantial and satisfying bite in the bowl.
- Adjust grilling time based on shrimp size to prevent overcooking and maintain tender texture.
- Swap mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter, protein-rich sauce option that reduces calories.
