Everyday Cooking Adventures’ Mom’s Shrimp with Asparagus & Rice

I’ve been eating this delicious stir-fry dish for years at home and now I finally made it myself. I got to use my wok pan which is fun and the whole dish requires one cutting board, one wok pan, one paring knife, and a wooden spoon. Simple and tasty!

I used a shallot because I didn’t have a white onion but otherwise I stuck to my mom’s recipe. I also made Rice-a-Roni Fried Rice as my rice, which gave it even more oomph. I think next time I might add a can of water chestnuts because I love those things! It came out just like I remembered and filled us both up. We have leftovers for 1 lunch tomorrow too. Here’s my shrimp with asparagus:
