Lemon Buttered Asparagus

1 lb fresh asparagus spears
3 TB butter
1 TB lemon juice
1/2 tsp grated lemon peel (I think I forgot this)

Snap off tough ends of asparagus. In large skillet, combine asparagus spears and 1/2 c water. Bring to boil over medium heat. Cook 5 to 10 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain.

Meanwhile, melt butter in small saucepan. Stir in lemon juice and lemon peel.

Place asparagus on serving plate; pour butter mixture over spears. (I think I just combined the butter with the asparagus in a bowl.)
