In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add shrimp to the pan, then season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper. Cook until the shrimp is pink. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and add asparagus.
Add ginger and garlic, then season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir frequently and cook until the asparagus is tender-crisp, adding in the chopped scallions halfway.
