Shrimp Stir Fry with Asparagus and Grape Tomatoes
I had my son in mind when I made this dish. He loves seafood and he loves anything with soy sauce. I picked up some fresh shrimp from our grocery store along with asparagus and tomatoes and I decided to do an Asian stir fry. This dish comes together in 10 minutes and is really tasty served over Sesame and Garlic Basmati Rice. We all loved it, especially my son and husband who devoured every last bite.

I am with your son. Seafood, soy sauce, stir fry—-this is my kind of dish. I pinned it.
Yum! I love stir fry! My fiancé loves anything soy sauce too!
This isn’t that dissimilar to our traditional Christmas Eve dinner – except that I use plenty of garlic, no soy sauce, and spinach in lieu of asparagus. This looks like a great dinner, Pam!
Hi Pam!
I may just need to buy more shrimp now that I’ve drooled over the rice and now this! Thanks for sharing, Pam..
YUM! I’ve been craving shrimp since the last time you posted a shrimp recipe. I usually choose more frugal options, but once in awhile can’t hurt right? I can’t think of anything better to pair it with than asparagus. Thanks for another great recipe.
Love shrimp – nice summer meal
Easy stir fries like this are a godsend when it comes to weekend meals!
