Asparagus w/Lemon Butter

By Cyndi645

Ingredients

• 24 thin asparagus spears
• 1 lemon
• 2 Tbsp butter
• Olive oil
• Kosher salt

Preparation

Step 1

Wash asparagus and line them up on a cutting board with the tops even. Cut the tough lower ends off.

Bring a skillet filled half full with salted water to boil. Dump in asparagus all at once. When water returns to the boil, cook asparagus until crisp-tender, about 1-3 minutes depending on the size. Drain.

Return the asparagus to hot pan; squeeze lemon juice over the top. Add the butter and a drizzle of olive oil.
