A delicious and quick Shrimp and Asparagus Stir-Fry with Mushrooms recipe that combines fresh ingredients for a healthy meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice or noodles for serving
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the asparagus and mushrooms to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, cornstarch, water, and sesame oil. Pour this mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss everything together. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another minute to heat through.
- Serve the stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider garnishing with chopped green onions or sesame seeds before serving.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes or a splash of sriracha to the sauce.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute shrimp with tofu and use vegetable broth instead of soy sauce.
