Spicy Shrimp and Asparagus Stir Fry

With asparagus now in season, this is an excellent recipe to try! It comes from the fabulous book, "Eat This, Not That." It's super healthy and full of taste too.  Hope you enjoy it!

1/2 C instant brown rice (measured dry)


1 tsp canola or other cooking oil

1/2 medium onion, chopped

1 C mixed chopped peppers

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 C chopped raw asparagus

8 oz shrimp
1 tbsp soy sauce

hot sauce to taste (like sriracha)

Salt and pepper to taste


Directions

Prepare the brown rice according to the package directions. Add the oil to a large saute pan or wok and place over high heat. When the oil is smoking, add the onions, peppers, garlic, and asparagus, then stir fry for 5 minutes, until the vegetables have browned slightly. Stir in the shrimp, soy sauce, and hot sauce and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
 
Enjoy!
