This recipe is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I had some leftover from a stir-fry and it worked perfectly.

I'm not a big fan of asparagus, but I actually enjoyed this recipe. The lemon-butter sauce really helped.

The lemon-butter sauce is the perfect complement to the asparagus. It's tangy and buttery, and it really brings out the flavor of the vegetable.

I accidentally overcooked the asparagus, but it still tasted good. Next time I'll be more careful.
