To prepare fresh asparagus, cut away the dried bottom end, and wash thoroughly. Pat dry with paper toweling before cutting.
If you prefer, use either white rice or a combination of white and brown rice in this recipe.

If you are using frozen shrimp, be sure to thaw for 1-3 days in an airtight container or baggie in the refrigerator before using.

NEVER thaw fish, seafood, or meats on the kitchen counter.
