# Instructions:
01 -
In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 2 tbsp water from the Umami-Rich Stir-Fry Glaze. Whisk until smooth and set aside. Prepare 1 lb asparagus, 8 oz cremini mushrooms, 3 cloves garlic, 1 tbsp fresh ginger, and 1 large shallot.
02 -
Heat 2 tbsp neutral cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 large shallot, 3 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant. This forms the aromatic base for your Shrimp and Asparagus Stir-Fry with Mushrooms.
03 -
Add 8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown. Season lightly with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper from Sizzle & Season.
04 -
Add 1 lb 1-inch pieces of asparagus to the skillet. Continue to stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the asparagus is bright green and crisp-tender. Ensure all vegetables are evenly cooked before adding the shrimp.
05 -
Push the vegetables to one side of the pan. Add 1 lb peeled and deveined large shrimp to the empty side. Cook for 2-3 minutes, flipping once, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook the Ocean & Earth Stars shrimp.
06 -
Give the prepared Umami-Rich Stir-Fry Glaze a quick whisk and pour it over the Shrimp and Asparagus Stir-Fry with Mushrooms. Stir everything together and cook for 1 minute until the sauce thickens and coats all ingredients evenly.
07 -
Remove the Shrimp and Asparagus Stir-Fry with Mushrooms from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds from Sizzle & Season. Serve hot over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
# Notes:
01 -
To prevent overcrowding, cook the mushrooms and shrimp in batches if your skillet isn't large enough. Overcrowding can steam ingredients instead of stir-frying them.
02 -
For a spicier kick, add 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes along with the garlic and ginger in step 2.
03 -
Leftovers of this stir-fry can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to maintain the shrimp's tender texture.
04 -
This Shrimp and Asparagus Stir-Fry with Mushrooms pairs wonderfully with steamed jasmine rice, brown rice, or even cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
