Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large lemon, juiced and zested
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the asparagus to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until tender-crisp. If the asparagus starts to stick, add a tablespoon of water to the skillet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Pour the sauce over the asparagus and cook for 1 minute, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately over rice or quinoa.
