Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, cook pasta at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 8 minutes.
While the pasta is cooking, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and garlic, saute until the shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove shrimp to a covered dish, keep warm.
Add asparagus and water to the hot skillet, cover and steam until the asparagus is tender-crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes, steam until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes. Uncover and reduce heat to medium. Drain pasta and add to the skillet. Add shrimp, Parmesan cheese, and half-and-half, stirring gently to combine. Cook until sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes.
Sprinkle with parsley and season with pepper to serve.
