This started out well for us, and we like the mix of ingredients. We toasted the sesame seeds, and added them at the very end. Oh, and used a yellow bell pepper, instead of red, because I had 3/4 of one in the fridge. The only thing I would change in the future is to leave out the lime juice - it was perfect before adding it, and we'll definitely make it again! Thanks for posting - no more (boring) steamed asparagus for us!!!

Great recipe and a nice change from steamed or roasted asparagus. Loved all of the flavors in this. And pretty easy to put together.

A nice new (for us, at least) way to serve a vegetable that we enjoy, especially when I can find a very tender bunch! This time around it was just for the 2 of us, but it would be a wonderful treat to prepare this for special dinner guests! Thanks for the great keeper recipe!

A different way to make asparagus, served with some maple chicken. The sauce was good, though it might be toned down next time, still we enjoyed this great side dish of a treat. :). Made for PRMR tag..

We liked this different way of preparing asparagus, which is a staple in our house. We made as specified. My lime was rather juicy, so I found the sauce a little bit tangy for our tastes. I might cut back on that a bit next time, though I see it was no problem for other reviewers. This came together quickly. We served as a side to Recipe #299324 299324. Made for ZWT6.
