Directions:
- Boil the asparagus spears until barely tender.
- Mince the shallots (or scallions), and the parsley.
- Leave the asparagus spears whole, or cut them into 3/4 lengths, depending on your menu.
- Choose a frying pan that will hold the asparagus easily.
- Cook the shallots or scallions in butter for 2 minutes without browning.
- Add the asparagus, salt and pepper lightly, and toss (or turn) in the butter and seasoning.
- Add the cream and simmer slowly, basting the asparagus frequently, until the cream has reduced and thickened- about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Taste carefully for seasoning, adding drops of lemon juice if and as you think they are necessary.
- (If done in advance, simmer only a few minutes with the cream and finish just before serving).
- Fold the minced parsley into the sauce, baste the asparagus to enrobe it, and turn out onto a hot platter.
- Enjoy!
