This is a variant of a recipe I spotted on the internet.   Found a mix of both shrimp an asparagus in the freezer, so here goes:

  •  2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 8 asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup chopped seeded tomato, peeled
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons basil
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons oregano
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ] Lemon wedges

  • Cook pasta according to package directions.
  • Sprinkle shrimp with salt and pepper flakes.
    • In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat.
    • Add shrimp; stir-fry until pink, 2-3 minutes. Remove; keep warm.
  • In same skillet, stir-fry the next 5 ingredients in remaining oil until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add wine and seasonings. Return shrimp to pan.
  • Drain pasta; add to shrimp mixture and toss gently. Cook and stir until heated through, 1-2 minutes.

This worked really well for a quick evening supper.
