To me simple is better with asparagus.

I like just the heads with only a little bit of the stalk.  I wash it and put it in a baggie.  To the baggie I add olive all, kosher salt, coarse ground pepper and sesame seeds.  Toss until well coated.  Cook over direct heat, in a grill wok, until done.

I always put some olive oil and butter in a pan, salt, pepper and garlic. When there almost done add a squeeze of lemon juice.

You can get the same flavor without discoloration if you use the zest of the lemon. I also prefer using an infused oil, such as orange.

Use the biggest you can find. Peel the stalk like a carrot or cucumber--make some stripes in other words. Marinate in oil, lemon, fresh garlic, kosher salt and cracked pepper. Grill direct and get some char. Marinade makes a good dressing as well. Really helps the sugars come out when you score the stalk!

I marinade mine in soy, siracha, and sesame oil for a few hours in a ziplock.  Grill until tender and then roll in some toasted sesame seeds. 

EVOO and a little salt.  Direct at about 450, flip once.  Let it get a little brown and eat about 7 lbs of it.  Then for the next day you will remember you ate asparagus every time you go to the bathroom )

will you be cooking asparagus at the owosso fest on saturday??

Damn, Chubbs, No wonder mine kept falling through the grate!

We are simply over run with asparagus this year.  Our bed is about 8 years old and is really starting to produce.  All of the above recipes are winners and I don't see how you could go wrong with any of them.  I made this dish at my brothers last weekend.  It was pouring rain and I must admit I used the side burner of his Weber under the covered deck.

I lightly steamed the asparagus about seven minutes and then tossed it in an ice bath.  I then sauteed some garlic in olive oil and added the asparagus for a couple of minutes.  Next I added three eggs, sea salt and fresh ground pepper.  Browned on the first side and then flipped until done.  Served with some toasted baguette.  It's not real pretty, but it sure tasted good!
