• 2 1/2 tablespoons avocado oil, (split)
• 1 pound 16/20 count shrimp, ( deveined and deshelled )
• 1 pound asparagus, (1 1/2 inch diagonal cut and bottom 1 inch removed and discarded )
• 1 1/2 tablespoons ginger, (minced)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic, (minced)
• 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal brand), (plus more to taste)

• Jasmine rice

Instructions

1. 1

   In a wok or skillet over medium-high heat, add 1¼ tablespoons avocado oil and sauté garlic for one minute.

2. 2

   Add shrimp, red chili flakes, and salt. Cook until shrimp are pink (about 2-3 minutes), and slightly undercooked. Remove shrimp and garlic from wok and place in a bowl. Set aside.

3. 3

   Over medium-high heat, add remaining 1¼ tablespoons avocado oil and ginger to wok. Cook for one minute then add asparagus. Stir constantly for 2 minutes. Return shrimp mixture to wok and cook for 2 minutes.

4. 4

   Add oyster sauce and ¼ cup water. Cook until liquid slightly reduces. Test asparagus; you want the texture to be tender-crisp, not soft and soggy.

5. 5

   Serve immediately and enjoy with jasmine rice.
