Description

Delicious Sweet Chili Shrimp with Asparagus recipe for a flavorful meal. Discover the perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavors.


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

  1. 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.
  2. Step 2: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  3. Step 3: In a bowl combine Thai sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha, and minced garlic. Whisk to combine.
  4. Step 4: Pour sauce over shrimp and refrigerate until ready to cook.
  5. 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.
  6. Step 6: Bake asparagus for 5 minutes. Remove from oven.
  7. 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.
  8. Step 8: Return the sheet pan to the oven and cook an additional 8-10 minutes until the shrimp are cooked through.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
