Ingredients

Scale

Seafood

  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

Vegetables

  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and sliced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • Green onion, for garnish

Aromatics

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced

Oils and Sauces

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)

Seasonings

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Serving

  • Steamed rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Season Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and lightly season with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor.
  2. Cook Shrimp: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sauté for about 2 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside to avoid overcooking.
  3. Stir-Fry Vegetables: Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Stir-fry the sliced mushrooms and asparagus for 3-4 minutes until they are bright in color and tender-crisp, maintaining a nice crunch.
  4. Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and ginger and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, which will infuse the dish with aromatic depth.
  5. Combine Ingredients and Sauce: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, rice vinegar, and honey. Toss everything together thoroughly to coat the ingredients evenly and warm through.
  6. Serve: Immediately transfer the stir-fry to plates or a serving dish. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot over steamed rice for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free soy sauce and omit oyster sauce or use a gluten-free alternative.
  • Adjust the amount of honey or omit it entirely if you prefer a less sweet sauce.
  • Ensure shrimp is not overcooked to keep it tender and juicy.
  • Feel free to substitute asparagus with broccoli or snap peas depending on seasonality and preference.
  • For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of chili paste during the sauce step.
