For the stir fry

Minced garlic and a knob of ginger. These are your aromatics.
Cut the tough end of the asparagus out. (About an inch at the bottom of each asparagus) Then cut them in half to make the vegetable pieces smaller. Set them aside.
In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable or olive oil with high heat. Once the skillet is smoking hot, cook the shrimp about 1 -2 minutes on each side or until they turn pink. Transfer the cooked shrimps to the bowl.
Add another tablespoon of oil or as needed. Toss the asparagus then garlic and ginger to the skillet. Add stir fry sauce and water. Stir fry for a few minutes or until the asparagus becomes tender but still crunchy. See if you need to adjust the taste as well.
Toss the cooked shrimps back to the skillet and combine well to make sure that the shrimps are well coated in the stir fry sauce. Sprinkle some sesame seeds if you desire.
