I adore asaparagus too. When it's in season we eat it nearly every day until it's done. I was looking for a slightly different way to cook it and this caught my eye. I love the cajun spice with it but I did have to add about 1/4 cup water because the spices and butter were burning. I also had no idea what seasoning salt was and since the cajun seasoning had a bit of salt in it I just used a little extra of that. As it turned out, adding the water worked very well because it created a few spoonfuls of sauce, which I used to flavour the rice I served the asparagus on. A perfect meal for a night home alone. Thanks!
