Ingredients
Scale
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, grated
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, and ginger. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the asparagus from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the marinated shrimp along with the marinade. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
Return the asparagus to the skillet and toss to combine with the shrimp. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Serve immediately over cooked rice or quinoa if desired.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
You can substitute the asparagus with broccoli or snap peas for a different flavor and texture.
