Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Large Shrimp, peeled, deveined, and patted dry
  • 1 bunch Fresh Asparagus, trimmed into 2-inch pieces
  • 3 cloves Garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger, grated or finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Aminos or Soy Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted Sesame Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Raw Honey
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice, freshly squeezed
  • 2 tablespoons Avocado Oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes, optional
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small glass bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, raw honey, toasted sesame oil, and lemon juice.
  2. Heat the Pan: Place your wok or skillet over medium-high heat, add avocado oil, and wait until it shimmers.
  3. Sear the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the hot pan in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes until they turn opaque pink. Flip briefly and remove from the pan.
  4. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pan, add minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring constantly for 30 seconds.
  5. Cook the Asparagus: Add asparagus pieces and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Unite the Ingredients: Return the shrimp to the pan, pour the sauce over, and toss for another minute until slightly thickened.
  7. The Final Touch: Remove from heat and sprinkle with red pepper flakes and sesame seeds.

Notes

Use wild-caught shrimp for best flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of liquid.
