Shrimp and Asparagus Stir Fry Meal Prep
This post may contain affiliate links. Please see our privacy policy for details.
An easy stir fry that you can quickly prep ahead of time for the whole week! Simply add brown rice and you’re set!
I could eat this meal prep bowl for days.
I mean, I actually have been eating this for days.
But I’m far from getting sick of it.
And I’ve swapped out the asparagus for some broccoli for variation.
It works both ways.
Or you can even have broccoli and asparagus in the same bowl.
I know.
I’m kind of a genius.
Also, note that cooked shrimp lasts for 3-4 days in the fridge.
But as always, methods for optimal food storage and shelf life should be based on good judgment and what you are personally comfortable with.
The only thing to remember though is this.
Carry a bottle of Sriracha with you wherever you go.
So you can drizzle that right on prior to serving.

Shrimp and asparagus? You won me there. I love both of these ingredients and since they’re together in this dish, I can already tell it’s super delicious. I’m gonna try it tomorrow already 😀
Is there an alternative for rice wine vinegar? Nice recipe as always!
Cider vinegar would be a great substitute.
I used apple cider vinegar because that’s what I had handy and it worked really well!
Great!
That looks wonderful! thank you for sharing! (:

Cool photography, makes this recipe look lovely – which I’m sure it is! I didn’t realise cooked shrimp would last that long, thanks for the tip.
Don’t think I’ve ever had shrimp with asparagus before? Sounds and look lovely though! Nice one 🙂
Could you please post the nutritional information for this meal? It looks delicious. Thank you!!
