How to Make Chinese Stir Fried Shrimp With Asparagus
- Prepare the shrimp: Peel, devein, and butterfly the shrimp, leaving the tails intact.
- Prepare the asparagus: Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus and cut each spear into 4 diagonal pieces.
- Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a hot wok or large skillet over high heat.
- Add half of the shrimp to the wok and stir-fry for 30 seconds until pink.
- Remove the shrimp from the wok with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
