Asparagus Steamed With Lemon Butter

1. 1

   Wash asparagus and trim off bottom of stems by about 2 inches.

2. 2

   In a large skillet, bring about 1/2-inch of water to a rapid boil. Season the water with salt.

3. 3

   Add the asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes or until bright green and just tender.

4. 4

   Drain the asparagus and place it immediately in a bowl of ice water to shock it. This will help the asparagus to retain the bright green color. Drain.

5. 5

   Add butter to the skillet to melt. Stir in the lemon zest and juice. Add the drained asparagus to the skillet. Toss to coat and heat. Serve immediately.
