Quick Shrimp and Asparagus Stir-fry

• 1/3 c. chicken broth
• 1 tsp. cornstarch
• 1/4 tsp. dried thyme, crushed
• 1 dried tomato, snipped finely
• Cooking spray
• 3 c. fresh asparagus pieces
• 1 1/2 c. sliced mushrooms
• 2 c. shrimp, peeled and cooked

In a small jar, combine the chicken broth, cornstarch, thyme and tomato. Screw the top on tightly and shake vigorously to mix well. Set aside.

Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Stir fry the asparagus for 4-6 minutes or until it is crisp tender. Add the mushrooms and shrimp and stir-fry for 2 minutes more.

Shake the jar with the chicken broth mixture again and pour into the skillet. Cook and stir the mixture until thickened and bubbly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes and serve alone or over hot cooked rice.
