Sweet Chili Shrimp Stir Fry

This sweet chili shrimp is quick and easy and comes together in under 30 minutes.

This Sweet Chili Shrimp Stir Fry is full of sauteed shrimp, onions, red peppers, and asparagus, tossed in a sweet and spicy sauce. The combination of flavors are fantastic and this quickly became a family favorite.

My whole family loves shrimp, one of the great benefits is that it cooks super fast. The perfect dish any night of the week.

How to make Sweet Chili Shrimp Stir Fry.

• Simply saute veggies in olive oil for 3-4 minutes. Remove and then saute the shrimp for 2-3 minutes then remove to the same platter as the veggies. Add in the sauce and let simmer just until thickened, then add shrimp and veggies back in. And you're ready to eat!
• Chili sauce is found in the Asian cuisine section of your grocery store, I usually get the Mae Ploy Sweet Chili Sauce, but any brand will work fine.

I used onions, red pepper, and asparagus, but you could really use whatever veggies you have on hand. And although regular rice is delicious, I love to have this with coconut rice and I have included the recipe for it. So so good!
