It is easy to make in the oven, but it can also be made on the grill.

Ingredients:

• About 2 dozen fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
• 1 teaspoon butter
• ½ tablespoon olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 medium shallot, minced
• ½ lime, juiced
• salt and pepper to taste

Grill directions:
Simply mix the ingredients, except lime, in a bowl, place in foil and fold tightly so that nothing will leak. Then throw it on the grill about five or seven minutes before you’re done with your main courses. Make sure the spears are tender. Top with lime juice before serving.

Oven directions:
Melt butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic and shallots, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until soft.

Stir in asparagus spears; cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Squeeze lime over hot asparagus, and season with salt and pepper.

Transfer to serving plate, and garnish with lime wedges.
