Ingredients
  • 2½ cups sugar snap peas, trimmed

  • ¾ teaspoon salt, divided

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat; add peas and asparagus. When water returns to a boil, immediately drain, and transfer to an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Drain well.

  3. Using a vegetable peeler, shave squash into ribbons, stopping at squash seeds. In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, remaining 2 teaspoons oil, and remaining ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add asparagus mixture, shrimp, squash, and green onion, tossing to combine. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 hour.
