# Steps to Cook:

Add sliced mushrooms and trimmed asparagus to the pan. Stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes until asparagus is bright green and tender-crisp.

Add prepared shrimp to the pan and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring consistently until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked.

Serve hot as is, or over steamed rice or quinoa for a more substantial meal.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For extra heat, sprinkle with red pepper flakes when seasoning. Vary the vegetables by adding bell peppers, zucchini, or onions. Substitute shiitake or oyster mushrooms for cremini based on availability. For richer umami, a drizzle of oyster or teriyaki sauce works well. Garnish with chopped spring onions or sesame seeds if desired.
