Directions
Prepare pasta according to package directions.
While pasta is cooking, warm 1 teaspoon vegetable oil over high heat in a large non-stick wok or skillet.
Stir-fry the shrimp until firm, opaque and lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
Remove and set aside.
Add the remaining teaspoon of vegetable oil to the pan and stir-fry the carrots for 2 minutes.
Add the asparagus and scallions and stir-fry for another 3 to 4 minutes, until asparagus is tender-crisp.
When pasta is done, drain it well.
Add pasta, shrimp and orange juice to skillet and toss until hot, about 2 minutes.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and transfer to a serving bowl.
Serve immediately.
