Creating Shrimp and Asparagus Stir-Fry with Mushrooms is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Prep the Ingredients: Wash and chop the asparagus into 2-inch pieces. Slice the mushrooms and set aside. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turns pink and opaque. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add the Veggies: Toss in the sliced mushrooms and asparagus. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
6. Combine the Shrimp: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the veggies.
7. Add the Sauces: Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. If you enjoy a bit of heat, sprinkle in the crushed red pepper flakes.
8. Stir-Fry Together: Stir everything well to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through and blend the flavors.
9. Evaluate Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.
