Prep your ingredients. Mince your garlic, cut your asparagus into 1/4's on a bias, finely chop your chipotle pepper.
Start your asparagus. Warm 1 tbsp oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add asparagus with a pinch of salt and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened but still firm. Remove from pan and set aside.
Cook your shrimp. To the same pan, add 1/4 cup butter, diced. Once melted add 1 tbsp olive oil, then 6 cloves minced garlic and minced chipotle pepper with 1 tbsp adobo sauce. Cook for 2 minutes. Add shrimp and saute for about 3 minutes, mixing frequently, until shrimp is almost cooked through. Add 2 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar and mix well. Add asparagus and toss to coat. Cook until asparagus is warmed and shrimp is fully cooked (another minute max). Serve with crusty grilled bread and the pan drippings drizzled overtop.
