Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 bunch asparagus (trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon ginger (fresh, minced)
- 1 medium red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes or Thai chili (optional for heat)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
- 2 cups jasmine rice or noodles (cooked, for serving)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the asparagus and red bell pepper to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the top. Toss everything together to coat evenly.
If desired, sprinkle in red chili flakes or chopped Thai chili for added heat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure the shrimp is heated through.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately over jasmine rice or noodles and enjoy!
