Let me start by saying I love garlic. There is little that I fix that doesn't have garlic in it. I found another easy way to fix asparagus either on the grill or in the microwave is 1 lb. asparagus, 2-3 T butter, 5-10 crushed garlic cloves, 1 lemon. Wash, clean, drain asparagus. If on the grill, put in aluminum foil "boat" that will ultimately by closed up. For microwave just use a microwavable dish long enough for the asparagus. Squeeze lemon juice on asparagus, spread butter evenly, dump the garlic on top. When bbqing, I just put the aluminum packet as far away from the fire and ignore it. I've yet to have it get too soft even when I've left it there for well over an hour. When nuking, 3 minutes max.
