Use foil to make a bowl for the shrimp and place on baking sheet with asparagus. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil on asparagus and shrimp, sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper on top.

Place salad greens, basil and oregano in a medium bowl and add enough dressing to moisten. Arrange on plates, top with shrimp, asparagus and a few shavings of parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
