Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp Marinade

    In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Shrimp

    Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade. Toss to coat evenly and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Steamer

    Fill a bamboo steamer or a pot with water, ensuring the water level is below the steamer basket. Bring the water to a gentle simmer.

    Place the asparagus in the steamer basket and steam for about 3-5 minutes until tender and bright green. Remove and set aside.
