Super, super delicious and so fresh tasting. Highest marks for the sauce, well-balanced combo of flavors. Another outstanding Cooking Light recipe. Very happy.

Delicious! I used vegetable broth, and omitted the shrimp...and tossed some crushed salted peanuts on top...

This was really easy to make and very tasty too. I didn't have asparagus, so I used snow peas, which added a nice crunchiness. Even froze nicely. Will make this again.
