Grilled Asparagus with Savory Lemon Paprika Butter

We spent the weekend down in Aptos, CA celebrating our friend’s birthday and enjoying lots of adult beverages and delicious food. One of the culinary highlights of the trip was an asparagus side dish that was served with New York strip sandwiches on Friday afternoon. 

Tonight I wanted a quick, easy, and tasty side dish to pair with blackened swordfish and mashed potatoes. I could not stop thinking about Friday’s asparagus – so, voila! The flavor combination of the melted butter, lemon juice, and smoked paprika tasted so fresh and left me wanting more. Hope you enjoy!
