Chef Via Melissa’s Lemon Paprika Asparagus
Spring is in the air, and I have Spring vegetables on the mind! It’s asparagus season and they are readily available at farmer’s markets and your supermarket. One of my favorite go-to methods for preparing asparagus is my jazzing it up with lemon, paprika and garlic! These simple ingredients make a plane stable turn into a party on yours and your guests palate! It pairs well with any meat or fish protein too to accompany any feast! Buon appetite!
