Combine 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed, cut into 3" pieces, 2 lemons, 1 juiced, 1 sliced, 1 medium shallot, finely chopped, and 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil in a large resealable plastic bag. Add shaved Parmesan as desired; season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Close bag, then, using a rolling pin, gently pound asparagus until some pieces are broken up and some remain intact (don’t go too crazy). Chill at least ⏱️ 1 hour and up to ⏱️ 12 hours.
