Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook asparagus in boiling water until tender but still crisp, about 4 minutes. Quickly drain asparagus and plunge into a bowl of ice water to stop cooking and maintain the bright green color. Drain again and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Separate asparagus into 5 small bundles and wrap each one with a prosciutto slice. Sprinkle each bundle with lemon juice and zest.
