Ingredients

4 servings

3 tbsp butter
1/3 cup sliced almonds
1 large shallot, peeled and very finely chopped
1 1/2 lbs asparagus, trimmed and sliced on a bias into bite-sized pieces
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 medium lemon, zested and juiced
fine sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper

Instructions

Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the almonds and sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes or until lightly golden, stirring and flipping occasionally so that they do not burn. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the almonds to a plate, leaving behind the leftover butter in the pan.
Add the shallots to the hot butter and sauté for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Add the asparagus, garlic, lemon zest and toss to combine. Increase heat to medium-high and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus reaches your desired level of tenderness. (I prefer mine quite crisp.)
Add the lemon juice and half of the almonds and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve. Serve warm, garnished with the remaining almonds and an extra twist of black pepper.
