Recipe for Shrimp with Garlic and Asparagus

My friend asked me for the recipe of one of the pictures I posted in an earlier blog.  When I cook I definitely just wing it.  I don't write down measurements because I am usually too focused on the cooking.  What I'm trying to do is take pictures as I'm cooking.  This way I can show ingredients as well as amounts.  I find visual learning easier as I'm sure most people do.  If the recipes read to "cheffy" let me know.  I can translate.  :)
