Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Prosciutto Asparagus Bundles.
Step 1
Start by bringing a generous pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once the water is bubbling, introduce the asparagus and let it cook for about four minutes, just until it reaches that perfect tender-crisp texture.
Step 3
Quickly drain the asparagus and plunge it into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and lock in that vibrant green hue.
Step 4
After a few minutes, drain the asparagus again and gently pat it dry with paper towels.
Step 5
Next, gather the asparagus into five neat bundles, wrapping each one snugly with a slice of prosciutto to create a delightful flavor combination.
Step 6
To elevate the taste, drizzle each bundle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest, adding a zesty kick that brightens every bite.
Step 7
Enjoy this elegant dish as a stunning appetizer or a side that steals the show.
