Prep 15 min · Cook 35 min

In a small saucepan, combine the brown rice, water, and half the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the rice rests, heat the canola oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the asparagus and the remaining salt to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, for 4 to 5 minutes until the asparagus is bright green and tender-crisp.
Add the cooked shrimp, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the skillet. Toss everything together for 2 minutes until the shrimp is heated through and the asparagus is evenly coated. Done when heated through.
