Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the asparagus and red bell pepper to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the top. Toss everything together to coat evenly.

If desired, sprinkle in red chili flakes or chopped Thai chili for added heat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure the shrimp is heated through.
