Category: Seafood

 Ingredients List

  • 3/4 lb Large shrimp
  • 1 ts Salt
  • 1 lb Fresh asparagus
  • 1/2 c Whole straw mushrooms
  • -Fresh or Canned
  • 4 Green onions
  • 2 tb Vegetable or peanut oil
  • 3 Garlic cloves; chopped
  • 1 ts Sugar
  • 1/2 ts Ground black pepper
  • 1 tb Thai fish sauce (nam pla)
  • 1 tb Oyster sauce
  • 1/4 c Chicken stock

 Directions

SHELL AND DEVEIN the shrimp. In a bowl toss the shrimp with salt; let sit
for 5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with cold water, drain and pat dry; set
aside. Cut the asparagus diagonally into 2-inch lengths. Bring a large pot
of water to a boil. Drop the asparagus into the water and blanch for a few
seconds or until it turns bright green. Remove and shower with cold water
to stop the cooking. If using canned mushrooms, drain and rinse them with
cold water; set aside. Cut the green onions, including part of the green
tops, into 1 1/2-inch lengths. Heat a wok over medium-high heat. When hot
add the oil and garlic; toss until lightly brown. Turn the heat to high and
add the green onions and shrimp to the wok; stir-fry together until the
shrimp turn bright orange and feel firm to the touch, about 30 seconds to a
minute. Add the asparagus, mushrooms, sugar, pepper, fish sauce, oyster
sauce and chicken stock; stir-fry together until the mixture is heated
through and sauce has a light cream consistency. This should take no more
than a few seconds.
