Ingredients

• 450 grams Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 300 grams Asparagus (trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces)
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons Chili flakes
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the shrimp under cold water, pat dry with a paper towel, and set aside.

Step 2

Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and cut into 2-inch pieces. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Set the sauce aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the asparagus to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp. Remove the asparagus from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 8

Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes on one side, then flip each shrimp and cook for another 1-2 minutes until pink and opaque.

Step 9

Return the asparagus to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp and asparagus.

Step 10

Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.

Step 11

Remove from heat and serve immediately. Pair with steamed rice or crusty bread for a complete meal.
