PAN-FRIED ASPARAGUS



Pan-Fried Asparagus image

I love asparagus, and if you do, then you'll love this recipe. Nothing fancy, and it's ready in minutes. Great as a side dish; I love to make a meal out of it, by adding thin slices of chicken or beef, even shrimp. I like to put grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Time 22m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 lbs thick asparagus spears, ends trimmed
kosher salt
ground black pepper
1/2 lemon (optional)
