Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
- Wash and pat the shrimp dry. Season with salt and pepper.
- Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chili flakes in a small bowl; set aside.
Step 2: Stir-Fry the Shrimp
- Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes per side until pink and slightly browned. Remove and set aside.
Step 3: Cook the Vegetables
- In the same skillet, add the remaining oil.
- Toss in garlic, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add asparagus and mushrooms. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until the asparagus is tender-crisp and the mushrooms are browned.
Step 4: Combine and Serve
- Return the shrimp to the skillet.
- Pour in the soy sauce mixture and stir to coat.
- Add the cornstarch slurry and stir until the sauce thickens slightly (1–2 minutes).
- Drizzle with sesame oil for extra flavor.
Serve immediately with steamed rice, quinoa, or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions if desired.
Tips for Success
- Don’t Overcook Shrimp: They cook quickly and can turn rubbery if overdone.
- Prep Ahead: Have all your ingredients chopped and ready before you start cooking; stir-frying is fast-paced!
- Customize: Swap asparagus for broccoli or snap peas, and add other veggies like bell peppers for a colorful twist.
