  • 225g cremini mushrooms – sliced

  • 4–6 garlic cloves – minced

  • 2 tbsp olive oil – heart-healthy cooking base

🥘 4. How to Make It

Step 1 – Prep Ingredients
Rinse and trim the asparagus. Slice mushrooms and mince garlic. Pat shrimp dry for best searing.

Step 2 – Stir-Fry Garlic & Veggies
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok. Add garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds—don’t let it burn! Add mushrooms and asparagus and stir-fry for 3–5 minutes until tender-crisp.

Step 3 – Cook the Shrimp
Toss in shrimp and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until pink and opaque.

Step 4 – Season and Finish
Stir in soy sauce or tamari, black pepper, and salt (if needed). Add butter for richness if desired. Serve immediately with rice, cauliflower rice, or on its own!

🧊 5. Storage & Serving Ideas

  • Fridge: Store in an airtight container up to 3 days.

  • Reheat: Gently on the stove or microwave in short bursts to avoid overcooking shrimp.

  • Serve With: Steamed jasmine rice, brown rice, or cauliflower rice for low-carb W-W days.

🔁 6. Tips & Variations

  • Add spice: A pinch of red pepper flakes or chili garlic sauce adds a nice kick.

  • More veggies: Bell peppers, snap peas, or zucchini blend beautifully here.

  • Swap proteins: Chicken or tofu make great alternatives to shrimp.

  • Sauce options: Mix in a teaspoon of oyster sauce or teriyaki for more depth.
