Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For sautéing
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha Adjust for spice level
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup For sweetness
  • to taste Salt and pepper
Optional Toppings
  • to taste sesame seeds For garnish
  • to taste lime wedges For serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by peeling and deveining the shrimp and trimming the asparagus.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add your asparagus to the skillet, stirring frequently for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
  3. Increase the heat slightly, then add the shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, Sriracha, and honey. Pour it over the shrimp and asparagus, tossing to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional minute until heated through.
  5. Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and lime wedges if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove. For longer storage, freeze without the asparagus for up to a month.
