Blistered Asparagus

From the kitchen of Carly

Hot oil transforms asparagus into charred, tender spears. A bright chile-lime dressing with toasted sesame oil, ginger, and soy sauce brings heat and umami. Crushed peanuts and coconut add satisfying crunch and nutty depth. Simple, bold, completely addictive.
