Ingredients
  

  • 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

  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice or quinoa for serving (optional)
