In a small saucepan, bring the water and half the salt to a boil. Add the pearl couscous, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes.
While the couscous rests, heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus and cook for 5 minutes until tender-crisp and slightly browned.
Add the garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the shrimp, lemon juice, lemon zest, black pepper, and the remaining salt. Cook, tossing frequently, for 3 minutes until the shrimp are heated through. Done when heated through.
Fluff the couscous with a fork and spoon it onto a plate. Top with the shrimp and asparagus mixture, pouring any juices from the pan over the top.
