Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp and Asparagus

    Ensure the shrimp are peeled and deveined. Rinse the asparagus under cold water, trim the ends, and cut into 2-inch pieces.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 2

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Asparagus

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the asparagus and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until bright green and tender-crisp. Remove asparagus from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until they turn pink and opaque.

  3. 5

    Combine and Finish

    Return the cooked asparagus to the skillet with the shrimp. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and asparagus, and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until everything is heated through.

Garnishing
