- Servings: 6
- Preparation Time: 10 minutes
- 2 Bunches Asparagus Spears
- 2 Tbsp. Butter

DIRECTIONS
- Wash asparagus spears and trim off about 1/2″ of the end.
- Fill a medium sized skillet with 1″ of water. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Add asparagus spears and cover. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes until crisp tender. I prefer thin asparagus but if you use thicker, increase the cook time to about 7 to 8 minutes.
- Drain asparagus and set aside.

- Place asparagus in a serving dish and pour almond and lemon juice over. Serve warm.
