Ingredients

  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 46 cloves garlic, minced or thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for richness)

Instructions

  1. Pat shrimp dry and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.

  4. Add asparagus and mushrooms. Cook 4–5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. Return shrimp to the skillet. Stir in soy sauce, black pepper, and butter if using.
  6. Toss everything together for 1–2 minutes until coated and heated through.
  7. Serve immediately, plain or over rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Add sesame oil or rice vinegar for extra flavor.
  • Spice it up with red pepper flakes or fresh chili.
  • Swap veggies with snap peas, bok choy, or bell peppers.
  • Top with a fried egg for more protein.
