Can’t wait for the asparagus season arrive here! The stirfry looks very fresh and delicious.
I just made asparagus with shrimps for dinner today. Not a stir-fry though. Steamed the asparagus (the thick ones), and parchment-cooked the shrimps with garlic. Then combine and toss everything with pasta. :)
I love pairing scallops with asparagus too! Your stir-fry looks very restaurant-standard.
That sounds really good! always love pasta with seafood + asparagus. I love stir-frying asparagus with shrimp too, that is if I am not too lazy to clean and shell the shrimps XD
I buy shrimps that have been shelled! :O
