My usual way of getting shrimp - a thousand miles or so from their salt
water homes is to wait until they've hist their "best by" (arbitrary)
date and are put on deep discount. Take's home and sucky-bag freeze for
future recerence. My problem would be is if the asparagus is fit to eat
or if it's all "woody".

Shrimp as above and if you don't have a good price on canned crab you
can swap in "krab". I once was at the local Big Lots looking for a toy
for a gift exchange when I spotted cans of crab marked at U$1/con. I
cleaned the shelf. Never did get the big stuffed Teddy .... on that go.

I wanted to pay up and disappear before someone woke up and 86ed the
deal.  Bv)=

 SD>     1/2 c  Miracle Whip salad dressing

I'd ditch the Miracle Wimp if favour of real Mayonnaise. Especially if
I have Duke's on hand.
