There’s something special about a meal that comes together quickly but tastes like it took all day. This shrimp stir-fry reminds me of spring dinners with my grandmother—fresh asparagus from her garden, a splash of lemon, and the warmth of shared stories. If you’re looking for something light, flavorful, and heartwarming, this dish is it. Gather your loved ones and enjoy a dinner that’s as joyful to make as it is to share.
