Cook spaghetti noodles according to package directions until al dente.

While noodles cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add minced garlic to the skillet and stir until fragrant (about 1 minute).

Add asparagus to the skillet and cook until softened (about 3-5 minutes).

Add shrimp to the skillet, spreading them out evenly.

Cook shrimp until pink and cooked through, flipping once (about 5-6 minutes).

Drain the pasta, reserving about 1 cup of pasta water.

Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the asparagus and shrimp mixture.

Add pasta water as needed to create a sauce.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve immediately.
