Stir-fries move fast — have all ingredients ready. - Cook the Shrimp
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a hot skillet or wok. Add shrimp in a single layer. Cook 1–2 minutes per side until just pink. Remove and set aside. - Stir-Fry the Veggies
Add remaining oil. Sauté mushrooms until they release moisture and brown slightly. Add asparagus and cook 2–3 minutes until crisp-tender. - Add Aromatics
Stir in garlic and ginger; cook 30 seconds until fragrant. - Bring It Together
Return shrimp to the pan. Pour in sauce. Toss and cook 1–2 minutes until glossy and thickened. - Serve
Finish with sesame seeds or green onions if you like. Serve over rice, noodles, or enjoy as-is.
