I find it easiest to add the asparagus to a microwave safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it come up to just boiling in my microwave, about 3 minutes on high; all microwaves differ as do preferences for doneness so cook as long as desired noting that in general asparagus cooks very quickly. If you prefer to do this on the stove with a pot of water, go for it.<\/span><span style=\"display: block;\">Drain immediately when done, and have an i<strong>ce bath <\/strong>waiting, and plop the asparagus into it to stop the cooking process. <strong>Tip <\/strong>\u2013 For a fancier presentation, use only asparagus tips.

If you want it to have a tiny pop of heat, red pepper flakes are great. If you want it to have some smokiness, a sprinkle of smoked paprika is nice. If you&#8217;re a fan of lemon, add more lemon juice. If you want more mint, parsley, extra nuts, etc. feel free to add them.
