Ingredients:

  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed and cooked
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced for garnish

Instructions:

Warm up the olive oil in a big pan over medium-high heat

It will take about two to three minutes on each side for the shrimp to turn pink after you add them

Take the shrimp out of the pan and set it aside

Put asparagus and minced garlic in the same pan

This will take about 34 minutes, or until the asparagus is soft but still crisp

Add the cooked quinoa and stir it in

Then add the cooked shrimp back to the pan

Mix honey, soy sauce, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl with a whisk

Cover the shrimp, asparagus, and quinoa with the sauce

Mix everything together and heat it all the way through

Serve the stir-fry with green onions that have been sliced on top

Have fun with your shrimp, asparagus, and quinoa stir-fry with lemon
