  • In a large frying pan, heat a splash of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add shrimp to the pan, then season with salt and red pepper flakes, cook until the shrimp is pink, remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, heat another splash of olive oil and add asparagus, add ginger and garlic, then season with salt. Stir frequently and cook until the asparagus is tender-crisp.
  • Return the shrimp to the pan, then add soy sauce. Stir until the ingredients are well combined and heated through, just before the dish is ready, add lemon juice, stir once more, then serve while hot. Serve with rice on the side would be excellent.

Notes

Shrimp would run about 100 Baht/500 grams, this comes out to about 75 cents per serving for 4 servings. Excellent value and nutritious.
