Simple Lemon Grilled Asparagus

This is an easy and delicious way to grill asparagus.  Just marinade it in a plastic bag and grill.  I love the extra touch of grilling the lemon to drizzle over the top.

Place the asparagus in a large ziploc bag and add lemon juice, garlic, oil, salt, and pepper.

Seal the bag and distribute the marinade.  Place in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Heat your grill to medium-high.  Add asparagus and cook for about 5 minutes, making sure to turn every minute or so.

Slice lemon in half and grill cut side down for 2 minutes.

Remove from grill.  Drizzle with grilled lemon juice, season to taste, and serve!
