Amazing Asparagus

This is one of the side dishes I added to our at home Valentine's Night celebration with Forrest and Rex. I wanted a side dish that was pretty and would make our night in seem special. We grilled steaks and had seafood stuffed mushrooms that were delicious, but this dish was the aesthetic star of the show. The vibrant colors and the unique presentation were suburb and they tasted delicious too! I highly recommend these quick and easy treats as a fun and simple way to spruce up any meal.
