Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 pound Asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 1 pinch Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, lime zest, soy sauce, honey, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until 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. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until pink, then flip and cook another 2 minutes on the other side.
Return the cooked asparagus to the skillet. Pour the lime sauce over the shrimp and asparagus, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve immediately.
