Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese and cheddar cheese soup until there are no lumps. Fold in the shrimp.
- Arrange the asparagus in a 9x13 inch casserole dish. They should be arranged so that the head to tail end of the asparagus are alternated. Pour the cheese and shrimp mixture over the asparagus. Use a spatula to spread the soup around evenly. Be careful not to tear asparagus. Make sure there is at least 1/2 an inch of space between the top of the ingredients and the top of casserole dish because the casserole will boil while cooking.
- Bake covered in a preheated 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) oven for 35 minutes. After 35 minutes, uncover and crush fried onions on top of casserole and cook for the remaining 10 minutes uncovered.

Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus. Look for asparagus spears that are firm and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted, limp, or have brown or yellow spots.
- Wash the asparagus thoroughly. Rinse the asparagus spears under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Trim the asparagus. Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can do this by snapping the spears at the point where they naturally break.
- Cook the asparagus until it is tender-crisp. You can cook asparagus in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, roasting, and grilling. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you choose.
- Don't overcook the asparagus. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy and lose its flavor.
- Serve the asparagus immediately. Asparagus is best served hot or at room temperature.

Whether you're looking for a quick and easy side dish or a more elaborate main course, there's an asparagus recipe out there for you.
