Prepare the sauce
Whisk all ingredients for the sauce together in a bowl.
Cook the asparagus
Place a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and when it starts to shimmer, stir in the asparagus and shallot. Cook 3-4 minutes, until the asparagus is bright green and the shallot is translucent.
Pour in the sauce and bring to a simmer. Lower the heat and cook 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens and coats the vegetables.
To serve
Squeeze the lime wedges over the dish and sprinkle with crushed red pepper to taste. Serve the asparagus as a side dish or with rice, noodles or spiralized zucchini as a main dish. It's good warm, at room temperature or cold.
