Toss asparagus with salt and pepper, then char in a hot skillet for 6 minutes and transfer to a plate.
In the same skillet, cook minced garlic in 2 tablespoons butter for 30 seconds, then add shrimp and cook 3 minutes per side until pink.
Whisk egg yolks with lemon juice over barely simmering water, slowly drizzle in 4 tablespoons melted butter while whisking, and season with salt and cayenne.
Plate shrimp and asparagus, drizzle with hollandaise, and serve.
