Instruction

  • In a large skillet on medium heat, add the water, garlic, and onion. Cook for about 1 minute or until the garlic and onion are fragrant.
  • Stir in the shrimp, ginger, salt, black pepper, red pepper, lemon juice, and asparagus. If the onions and garlic absorbed all of the water, add another 1 tablespoon. Stir well to combine and cover for 2 minutes. Remove the cover, stir, and recover. Repeat this process until the shrimp are pink, firm and cooked through. The asparagus should be bright green and just beginning to soften with a light crunch.
