Hopefully Spring will be arriving soon and to remind us all of Spring, nothing can be better than some beautiful green asparagus. Normally when I make asparagus I would just steam them or roast them in the oven. When I saw this recipe on For the Love of Cooking , it sounded like a fabulous flavor combination. I never heard of anyone putting lime on their asparagus before but I was definitely willing to try it and since Pam said it tasted so delicious, I made them. The flavors are really wonderful and do go quite well together. So if you want a new and delicious flavor combination, give this recipe a try.
