Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound peeled, raw shrimp
- 1/2 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 Tablespoons Sriracha (see notes)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bunch asparagus
- Olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Fresh ground black pepper
- Green onion, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Step 1: If you are serving over rice, start by cooking the rice first. While the rice cooks you can prepare the shrimp and asparagus.
- Step 2: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Step 3: In a bowl combine Thai sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha, and minced garlic. Whisk to combine.
- Step 4: Pour sauce over shrimp and refrigerate until ready to cook.
- Step 5: Rinse and trip asparagus to remove the woody ends. Place asparagus on one half of a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
- Step 6: Bake asparagus for 5 minutes. Remove from oven.
- Step 7: Drizzle about a tablespoon of olive oil on the other half of the baking sheet and carefully add the shrimp. NOTE: You will want to do this with tongs, leaving the marinade in the bowl.
- Step 8: Return the sheet pan to the oven and cook an additional 8-10 minutes until the shrimp are cooked through.
- Step 9: While the shrimp cook, transfer the reserved marinade to a small sauce pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the sauce until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Step 10: Remove shrimp and asparagus from the oven and toss shrimp in the reduced sauce. Serve immediately over rice and garnished with green onion.
