Lemon Garlic Shrimp with Veggies

This is a recipe in Jillian Michael's Master Your Metabolism book. It calls for 2 lbs of asparagus, but I only had 1, so I used some frozen cauliflower instead. I really liked this recipe, though I do not think it needs the added salt, or you could use reduced sodium broth instead of the regular it calls for. I also had to use more than 1 tsp of cornstarch to get it thick.
