Ingredients
  

For the Shrimp
  • 1 lb raw shrimp thawed, peeled and tails removed
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp minced ginger
For the Stir Fry
  • 2 tbsp butter, salted
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 lb asparagus trimmed and cut into 2 to 3 inch pieces
  • 1 large red bell pepper sliced into strips
  • 1/2 medium onion sliced

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Small bowl
  • Bowl

Method
 

  1. Place the cleaned shrimp in a bowl and set aside.
  2. Combine the honey, soy sauce, garlic and ginger in a small bowl. Pour half of this mixture over the shrimp, reserving the other half for later. Stir the shrimp to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the asparagus, bell pepper, and onion. Sauté until crisp-tender and slightly charred, about 4 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet to a plate to keep warm.
  4. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Then, add the shrimp (discard any used marinade). Cook the shrimp about 1 minute per side, or until caramelized and cooked through. Quickly add the vegetables and the reserved sauce to the skillet and heat through.
  5. Serve over hot cooked rice if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to substitute the shrimp with chicken or steak. Just make sure to cook until safe to eat. To thicken the sauce, combine 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 1 teaspoon cold water and pour into the skillet with the reserved sauce. Stir, and the sauce should thicken quickly.
