Stir-Fry White Asparagus with Shrimp Recipes

I found some fresh plump white asparagus at relatively cheap price the other day and I bought 2 big bunch of it. I find white asparagus has a more delicate and a bit more tender than green ones. I did a quick stir-fry with it to maintain it crunch and delicate flavor. You can always use green asparagus for this dish.

Ingredients :

1 bunch of aspagagus.
10 shrimps - peel and clean
1 red pepper - cut into bite size pieces
1 cloves of garlic - chopped
2 tbsp of chili paste
1 tsp of sugar
Salt to taste

1. With a a sharp vegetable peeler remove the fibrous skin at the bottom of the asparagus spears. Once all the asparagus has been peeled, cut off the bottom end about one inch up to remove the hard end. Then cut into 1" lenght.
2. Heat up a pan with some olive oil. Add in garlic and stir fry until fragrant. Add in the shrimps and stir-fry until it turn pink. Add in the chili paste and continue to stir fry for a minute.
3. Then add in the red pepper and asparagus. Stir briefly, drizzle a bit of water and continue to cook for another minute. Add in sugar and salt to taste. Stir well. Serve warm with rice.
