Hmmmm ... so where do sweet peas fit into this asparagus dish?

Ooops. Sorry. I just edited the recipe to include the 1/2 cup frozen peas. I'll have to contact Foodista, as somehow my URL link was stolen by someone else. I have fixed the URL so you can see how I make this on my food blog. I sometimes add cooked shrimp, as well.

Ooops! Sorry. I edited the recipe (and I don' t know how, but someone else stole my URL where I show how to make this). Anyway, 1/2 cup of unthawed pease. I also add cooked shrimp to this dish Thanks for pointing out my error.
