Transfer the asparagus puree to a mixing bowl and add the crabmeat, remaining 1/2 cup of sliced asparagus, Parmesan, and bread crumbs. Mix gently until fully blended. To serve, top each oyster on the half shell with 2 tablespoons of the asparagus/crabmeat mixture. Garnish each oyster with 2 slices of asparagus. Place in oven for 15 minutes.
