SHRIMP AND ASPARAGUS STIR-FRY



SHRIMP AND ASPARAGUS STIR-FRY image

Categories     Shellfish     Quick & Easy

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients:
• 3-inch piece ginger root
• 1 cup uncooked jasmine or basmati rice
• 2 cups water
• 12 ounces U-15 (jumbo) raw shrimp
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 cup fish stock or bottled clam juice (may substitute guava or apricot nectar; see headnote)
• 2 or 3 medium cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 pound asparagus

Steps:

  • Peel the ginger, then cut it crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. Put a third of the ginger in a medium saucepan, along with the rice and water; stir to combine. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, peel and devein the shrimp, placing them in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with the cornstarch and toss lightly to coat, then add the wine, fish sauce and fish stock or clam juice to form a marinade. Peel and cut the garlic (to taste) into very thin slices. Trim or snap off the woody ends from the asparagus; peel if desired, then cut the spears into 2-inch pieces. Mince the remaining two-thirds of the ginger slices. Heat the oil in a large saute pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger; stir-fry for 1 minute, until golden. Add the asparagus and stir-fry for 1 or 2 minutes, until crisp-tender. Push to the side of the pan. Drain the shrimp, reserving the marinade. Add the shrimp to the pan or wok and stir-fry for 2 to 4 minutes, until just opaque, then add the reserved marinade and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes, until it has thickened to form a sauce. Remove the ginger slices from the cooked rice, then divide the rice among individual plates. Top with equal portions of the shrimp, asparagus and sauce. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you avoid scrambling around and ensure that your stir-fry is cooked evenly.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your stir-fry will taste. Look for shrimp that is firm and translucent, asparagus that is bright green and crisp, and a good quality stir-fry sauce.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, your stir-fry will not cook evenly and the vegetables will become mushy. Cook your stir-fry in batches if necessary.
  • Use a high heat: Stir-fries are cooked over a high heat, so make sure your pan is hot before you add the ingredients. This will help to sear the shrimp and vegetables and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Stir constantly: Stirring constantly will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the ingredients from burning.
  • Cook the shrimp and vegetables until they are just tender: Overcooked shrimp and vegetables will become tough and rubbery. Cook them until they are just tender, then remove them from the pan.
  • Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end will help to prevent it from burning. Stir the sauce into the shrimp and vegetables until they are evenly coated.

Conclusion:

Shrimp and asparagus stir-fry is a quick, easy, and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be easily customized to your liking. With a little planning and preparation, you can make a delicious shrimp and asparagus stir-fry that your family and friends will love.
