Ingredients
Scale
For the asparagus:
- 1 Tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil (or oil from marinated cheese-recipe here)
- 1 bunch asparagus (about 1 lb.)
- Red Robin Seasoning (or your favorite seasoned salt) & freshly ground pepper, to taste
For the lemon avocado crema:
- 1 small ripe avocado, peeled & pitted
- 1 – 2 cloves garlic
- Juice of 1 large lemon (about 1/4 cup juice)
- 1/4 cup low fat milk
- 1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt
- 2 – 3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons light mayo
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
- A few fresh tarragon, rosemary, and basil leaves (or other fresh herbs)
For the salad:
- About 18 large pre-cooked frozen shrimp, thawed
- 1 – 3 Tablespoons toasted pine nuts (pinons)
- 1 – 3 Tablespoons crumbled feta (best if from marinated feta – recipe here)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Toss the asparagus with the oil and sprinkle liberally with seasoning and freshly ground pepper. Roast in the oven for about 10 minutes or until the asparagus is bright green and crisp tender. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
- In a handi chopper or mini food processor, add the crema ingredients and process until smooth. Set aside.
- To make the salads: Lay the roasted asparagus lengthwise on the plate (or chop it up and use it as a bed for the shrimp). Top with about 9 shrimp per serving, then sprinkle with pine nuts and feta and drizzle with the avocado crema. Enjoy!
