Lime Shrimp with Asparagus image

For this colorful main dish, I combine shrimp, asparagus and sweet red pepper and flavor them with lime juice, lime peel, garlic and soy sauce. It may look like it takes a long time to prepare, but it goes together fast in the microwave. -Peggy Davies Canon City, Colorado

I found that the shrimp cooked a little too quickly, so I had to adjust the cooking time.
