Heat 2 or 3 inches water in a medium frying pan until it boils, then salt it; add the cauliflower. Cook 3 minutes, then remove from water with tongs to a colander. Cool under cold running water to stopping cooking. Place decoratively on a serving platter. Trim asparagus of tough ends and add to salted water, cook 3 minutes. Remove and cool in the same manner as the cauliflower; add to serving platter. In a second skillet, while cauliflower and asparagus work, saute shallots and mushrooms togther in 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil over medium high heat until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
