Preheat an oven to 375F. Place the torn bread on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss together. Bake in the oven, tossing occasionally, until the bread is light golden and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the sugar snap peas and cook until bright green and almost tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and let cool.
Bring the water to a boil again, add the asparagus and simmer until almost tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Strain and let cool.
Place the shallots in a large serving bowl and add the lemon juice. Let sit 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, lemon-scented olive oil and lemon zest. When you are ready to serve, add the sugar snap peas, asparagus, spring onions and pea shoots. Toss together. Add the toasted bread, crumbled goat cheese and spearmint and toss very gently. Serve immediately.
