Number Of Ingredients 11

16 jumbo shrimp, peeled, deveined and butterflied
1/2 lb green asparagus
1/4 cup vegetable oil
16 ginger, slices peeled
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons shaoxing wine
1 tablespoon malt vinegar
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
2 teaspoons white sugar
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil

Steps:

  • Remove shrimp from wok with a slotted spoon and set aside. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
  • Add remaining oil to hot wok. Stir in asparagus, thinly sliced ginger and garlic. Stir fry for 30 seconds, stirring constantly so that garlic does not burn.

  • Pour in water and stir fry for another 30 seconds or until shrimp are just cooked through.
