Fresh Asparagus-Shrimp Rice

This really was good. I was out of rice, but I did have orzo, so I used that. Only things I would change is the amount of pepper -- just a smidge will do; and the amount of margarine. If you are making this in a non-stick pan, as the recipe directs, I think you're fine with half that amount.
