Step 1

In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the pan and season with ½ teaspoon of salt and the crushed red pepper flakes. Cook until the shrimp is pink, 2–3 minutes, then remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.

Step 2

In the same pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the asparagus, garlic, ginger, and remaining ½ teaspoon of salt and cook, tossing frequently, until the asparagus is tender-crisp, 4–5 minutes.

Step 3

Return the shrimp to the pan, then add the soy sauce. Stir until the ingredients are well-combined. Stir in the lemon juice, then remove the pan from the heat.

Step 4

Serve the stir-fry hot.

Step 5

Enjoy!
