Garlic hollandaise sauce adds flavor to this German shrimp dinner. Now, if y0u can find wild garlic and white asparagus, it truly will be a German dinner.
It takes three years of an asparagus plant to produce its first tip. It is grown surrounded by earth, which pretexts the stalks from sunlight, hence it is white and not green. It also affects a different flavor from a green asparagus.
