1 pound fresh asparagusasparagus
2 tablespoons butterbutter
4 cloves garlic (minced or roughly chopped (personal preference))garlic

Instructions (3 steps)

01Give your 1 pound fresh asparagus a fresh cut and trim off the bottoms. Boil a large pot of salted water. Blanch the asparagus by boiling in salted water for 1 minute, then transfer asparagus spears to large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
02In large heavy bottom pan, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium high heat. Once butter is melted, add 4 cloves garlic (minced) and cook just until it turns golden brown; this only takes a couple of minutes. Remove asparagus from ice water and shake off any excess water. Add to hot garlic butter and sauté until spears are evenly coated in garlic butter and warmed through, about 3-4 minutes.
03Season with salt and pepper and/or a squeeze of fresh lemon.
