How to Make Shrimp and Asparagus Stir Fry
  1. Whisk together the stir fry sauce by combining soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, chicken broth, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Set it aside.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. Sauté asparagus in the same skillet until it’s crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until softened.
  5. Return shrimp to the pan and pour the prepared sauce over everything. Stir well to combine.
  6. Cook until thickened for about 2 minutes, until sauce clings nicely.
