Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 300 grams Asparagus (trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water, pat dry with a paper towel, and set aside.
Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and cut into 2-inch pieces. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Set the sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the asparagus to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp. Remove the asparagus from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes on one side, then flip each shrimp and cook for another 1-2 minutes until pink and opaque.
Return the asparagus to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp and asparagus.
Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Pair with steamed rice or crusty bread for a complete meal.
