For those of you cooking for 1 or 2, this recipe is very easily cut down to a quarter.

8 oz. asparagus, cut to bite-sized pieces
1/4 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. lemon zest, grated
1 garlic clove, minced
4 oz shrimps, shelled and deveined; or substitute

You can substitute pieces of any vegan product such as organic tofu, quorn, or seitan for the shrimp.

I love stir-fry too!

The picture looks like it has a few other vegetables that aren’t listed in the ingredients. It looks like it has red and yellow bell peppers and either cilantro or parsley on the top. I suppose we can use whatever vegetables we like or substitute for others we don’t.
