Honey Garlic Shrimp Stir Fry

1 lb. raw shrimp, thawed, peeled and tails removed

1/3 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce

1 Tbsp. minced garlic

1 tsp. minced ginger

2 Tbsp. olive oil

1 lb. asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-3" pieces

1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips

1/2 onion, sliced

cooked rice, if desired

Place the cleaned shrimp in a bowl and set aside.  Combine the honey, soy sauce, garlic and ginger in a small bowl and pour half over the shrimp (reserve the other half for later), stir the shrimp to coat, cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp. oil.  Once melted, adding the asparagus, bell pepper and onion, and saute until crisp-tender and slightly charred, about 4 minutes.  Remove from skillet to a plate to keep warm.

Add the remaining Tbsp. of oil to the skillet and add the shrimp (discard any used marinade).  Cook shrimp about 1 minute per side, or until caramelized and cooked through.  Quickly add the veggies and reserved sauce to the skillet and heat through.  Serve over rice if desired.
