Grilled Red Pepper Asparagus

Can't go wrong with asparagus!

Ingredients:

1 bundle of asparagus
2 tbsps butter
1 tbsp minced garlic
red pepper flakes


Directions:

Pull about 18 inches of aluminum foil off for this. Prepare asparagus by breaking off the last inch or so of stock on them, NOT the end with the bloom, the end that tends to get brown and dry. If you hold both ends and bend the asparagus should naturally break where it is ripe from. Throw away the little pieces that break off. Then place the remaining sticks on the tin foil in a pile. Melt the butter in the microwave for 15-20 seconds and add the minced garlic and about a tsp of red pepper flakes, more if you prefer. Drizzle the butter mixture over the top of the asparagus, be sure to get as much coverage as you can, leave the excess in the bottom of the foil. Close it up and grill it for about 15 minutes or so, turning a few times. Remove from heat and wait to open until serving time to allow the flavors to really seep in. Mmmm.
