Garlic Shrimp and Asparagus Stir-Fry 

Healthy Fact of the Day

Asparagus is a nutrient-packed vegetable high in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. It supports digestion, may help reduce the risk of certain diseases, and complements the delicious flavors of this stir-fry.

Ingredients

For the Stir-Fry:

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 bunch asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Cooked rice or noodles for serving (optional)

For the Sauce:

3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Instructions

For the Sauce:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, and cornstarch until well combined. Set aside.

For the Stir-Fry:

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the trimmed asparagus pieces and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften but remain crisp-tender. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
  5. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.
  6. Return the cooked asparagus to the skillet with the shrimp.
  7. Pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp and asparagus. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats the shrimp and asparagus.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add red pepper flakes if you desire some heat.
  9. Serve your Garlic Shrimp and Asparagus Stir-Fry hot, with cooked rice or noodles if you’d like.

This quick and easy stir-fry is not only packed with flavor but also loaded with healthy goodness from the asparagus and lean protein from the shrimp. Enjoy the delightful combination of garlic and savory sauce in every bite!

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Lemon Butter Lobster Risotto

Lemon Butter Lobster Risotto is a rich and indulgent dish, but there are ways to make it even healthier while maintaining its creamy texture and luxurious flavor. Using low-sodium chicken stock can help reduce sodium intake, while swapping brown rice or cauliflower rice for Arborio rice can increase fiber and lower the carb content. Lobster is naturally high in protein and low in fat, making it a great lean seafood choice, but using less butter and replacing some with heart-healthy olive oil can further lighten the dish. Opting for reduced-fat Parmesan or nutritional yeast can provide cheesy flavor with less saturated fat. The addition of lemon juice and zest not only enhances brightness but also delivers vitamin C and antioxidants. Serve with a side of leafy greens for an extra nutrient boost, and enjoy this creamy risotto as part of a well-balanced meal!

Use whole wheat panko breadcrumbs for added fiber, and swap regular mayonnaise for Greek yogurt or a light mayo to lower fat content while keeping the creamy texture. Cauliflower itself is nutrient-rich, providing vitamins C and K, antioxidants, and fiber to support digestion and overall health. The Sriracha and honey in the sauce add bold flavor with minimal calories, making this dish a satisfying and nutritious snack or appetizer option. Enjoy it as part of a balanced meal!
