If you want to go fancy, you can peel back the shucks and slather them in garlic butter (easy-mix garlic powder with butter!), then rewrap them in their shucks and grill them with the meats on a low flame for about 10-15 minutes. Or go the easier route and boil them. Provide a butter tray and coarse salt.|||If you like asparagus, I have a perfect and quick recipe, that you can also do on the grill. Marinate the asparagus for 30 minutes with soy sauce, sesame oil and sesame seeds. Then, depending on the thickness, grill for 10 minutes, flipping once.
