Directions

  1. Trim the woody ends of the asparagus spears.
  2. In a bowl, combine the juice of one lime, grated ginger, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Place the asparagus spears in a large ziplock bag and pour the lime-ginger marinade over them. Close the bag and shake gently to coat the asparagus evenly.
