For enhanced flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes while sautéing the garlic and shallots. To prevent overcooking, blanch the asparagus in boiling water for 1 minute, then immediately transfer to an ice bath before sautéing. This ensures a vibrant green color and crisp-tender texture. A sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese just before serving adds a delightful savory note.
