Super healthy and easy garlic shrimp stir fry recipe with shrimp, asparagus and peppers in a delicious garlic sauce over rice
Ingredients
- 6 garlic cloves thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce I love sambal oelek
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp oil more as needed
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 bunch asparagus trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
- 2 lbs peeled and deveined shrimp defrosted if frozen
- rice for serving
- sesame seeds for serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, rice vinegar, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, sesame oil and cornstarch and whisk well.
- Defrost the shrimp according to instructions if using frozen. Then drain and pat dry.
- Heat wok or skillet over as high of heat as you can with a tbsp of oil. Add the bell pepper and asparagus and cook, stirring only once in a while, just until they blacken in spots. You want them to still have some crispness to them. Move to a plate.
- Add another tbsp of oil and add the shrimp. Cook, stirring occasionally until they are mostly pink, then add the sauce to the wok and reduce the heat to medium low. Stir and finish cooking the shrimp while the sauce thickens. If it gets too thick add a little water. Toss in the veggies and mix well. Serve over hot rice topped with sesame seeds.
