Heat oil, shallot, garlic, thyme sprigs, and pepper flakes in Dutch oven over medium heat until shallot is just softened, about 2 minutes.
Stir in radishes, water, lemon zest, orange zest, bay leaf, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook until radishes can be easily pierced with tip of paring knife, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in asparagus and continue to cook, covered, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
