Instructions

• Prepare all fresh produce and seafood: Clean and trim asparagus. Slice cremini mushrooms. Peel and devein shrimp. Mince garlic cloves.
• Sauté aromatics in oil: In a large nonstick skillet or wok, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, avoiding browning.
• Cook mushrooms and asparagus: Add sliced mushrooms and trimmed asparagus to the pan and stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes until asparagus is bright green and slightly tender-crisp.
• Incorporate shrimp: Cook the prepared shrimp in the pan, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes until they are pink and fully cooked.
• Final seasoning and finishing touches: Season with soy sauce or tamari, black pepper, and salt to taste. Add butter in the final minute of cooking and stir to combine for extra richness.
• Serving suggestion: Serve the stir-fry promptly over steamed rice or quinoa, or enjoy on its own.
