Description

A quick and healthy Shrimp and Asparagus Stir-Fry with Mushrooms recipe that combines tender shrimp, crisp asparagus, and savory mushrooms in a flavorful garlic-ginger soy sauce. Perfect for a nutritious weeknight dinner, this stir-fry is ready in just 30 minutes and serves four.

Ingredients

Seafood

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

Vegetables

  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

Sauce and Seasoning

  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon water (for cornstarch slurry, optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Wash and clean all vegetables. Slice the mushrooms and asparagus, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger to have everything ready before cooking.
  2. Heat Oil: Place a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, and heat until it shimmers, indicating it’s hot enough for sautéing.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the hot oil. Stir and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Cook Asparagus: Add the asparagus pieces to the pan, stir-frying for 2 minutes until they turn bright green and remain crisp-tender.
  5. Add Mushrooms: Toss in the sliced mushrooms and sauté for an additional 2 minutes until they soften and release their moisture.
  6. Cook Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, signaling they are fully cooked.
  7. Combine Sauce: Pour the low-sodium soy sauce over the ingredients. If using cornstarch, first mix it with water to create a slurry, then add it to the skillet. Stir well and cook for another minute until the sauce thickens and coats the stir-fry evenly.
  8. Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately, ideally over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overcook the shrimp to prevent them from becoming rubbery.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, the cornstarch slurry is recommended, but it can be omitted for a lighter stir-fry.
  • Adjust the amount of soy sauce according to taste and dietary sodium restrictions.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed jasmine rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
  • For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of chili garlic sauce during sautéing.
