Ingredients

• 1 pound Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 pound Asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 teaspoon Lime zest
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
• 2 teaspoons Honey
• 1 pinch Red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, lime zest, soy sauce, honey, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until tender but still crisp. Remove the asparagus from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until pink, then flip and cook another 2 minutes on the other side.

Step 6

Return the cooked asparagus to the skillet. Pour the lime sauce over the shrimp and asparagus, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve immediately.
