Preparation

Place shrimp in a colander; rinse with cold water until thawed, about 5 minutes.
In a covered 5- to 6-quart nonstick pan over high heat, bring 3 quarts water to a boil.
Trim ends of asparagus. Cut diagonally into 1 1/4-inch lengths.
Add shrimp to boiling water; cook, uncovered, until shrimp are opaque but still moist-looking in center of thickest part (cut to test), 2 to 3 minutes. Drain shrimp in colander and set aside.
Rinse pan and return to medium high heat. When dry, add oil, garlic, and asparagus. Stir often until garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, cilantro, and 1/2 cup broth; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Pour shrimp into pan. Mix to warm through, 1 to 2 minutes.
Serve with Zucchini "Pasta", Miracle Noodles, spaghetti squash or low glycemic pasta.
