Asparagus doesn't need anything to make it a succulent spring treat.... but, that doesn't mean it's not fun to add just a few touches of embellishment for a little change! That's what this sauce does for the already delicious veggie.
Ingredients
- 2lbs fresh asparagus spears, trimmed shopping list
- 1/2 stick butter, melted shopping list
- 1/4 cup tequila shopping list
- 1 lime(2 of they're small or not very juicy) shopping list
- 3 clove garlic, minced shopping list
- plenty of fresh ground pepper shopping list
- sea or kosher salt, medium ground, if possible(I used flake, and it was a perfect finish :) shopping list
How to make it
- Combine butter, tequila, the juice from the whole lime, and the zest from half, garlic and pepper and whisk to combine.
- Pour over asparagus in a large zipper bag, plastic container or even just on a baking sheet.
- Toss well to coat the asparagus.
- Grill over high heat for just a couple minutes. Asparagus doesn't take long, at all, on the grill or under the broiler.
- Sprinkle with the coarse or flaked sea salt and a lil extra zest for serving.
