Steps:
- -In a large frying pan, heat 1-2 Tbsp of Coconut oil or olive oil over medium heat. -Remove woody ends of asparagus. (A great trick for this is to grab the asparagus by the woody end with one hand and about 2" up with the other and simply break the asparagus stalk, it will break right where the good stuff starts!) -Toss asparagus stalks into frying pan with oil, sprinkle with salt, garlic salt and pepper to taste. Allow asparagus to cook for a few minutes, then sprinkle with Paprika and the Chipotle Chili Pepper. You want to evenly coat the asparagus. Cook another few minutes. -Reduce heat and add the juice from 1/2 to a whole lime. (Again, depends on taste preference.) Roll asparagus around in lime juice and allow juice to reduce over low heat until the lime juice/spice mixture thickens enough to coat the asparagus and create almost a paste. -Enjoy! A few hints, I like my cooked veggies on the firmer side of things, if you prefer more well cooked veggies, extend the first part of the cooking with the salt and pepper. I find that cooking too long once the lime juice has been added increases the risk of burning the mixture and also reduces the flavor of the lime.
