Ingredients
  • 2½ tablespoons avocado oil (split)
  • 1 pound 16/20 count shrimp (deveined and deshelled)
  • 1 pound asparagus (1½ inch diagonal cut and bottom 1 inch removed and discarded)
  • 1½ tablespoons ginger (minced)
  • 1½ tablespoons garlic (minced)
  • ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal brand, plus more to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
  • ¼ cup water
  • Jasmine rice

Equipment

  • wok or large skillet

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a wok or skillet over medium-high heat, add 1¼ tablespoons avocado oil and sauté garlic for one minute.
  2. Add shrimp, red chili flakes, and salt. Cook until shrimp are pink (about 2-3 minutes), and slightly undercooked. Remove shrimp and garlic from wok and place in a bowl. Set aside.
  3. Over medium-high heat, add remaining 1¼ tablespoons avocado oil and ginger to wok. Cook for one minute then add asparagus. Stir constantly for 2 minutes. Return shrimp mixture to wok and cook for 2 minutes.
  4. Add oyster sauce and ¼ cup water. Cook until liquid slightly reduces. Test asparagus; you want the texture to be tender-crisp, not soft and soggy.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy with jasmine rice.
