Asparagus Bombs

Here's a great way to prepare asparagus with a bang!  The spears come out crunchy and spicy.  Great served hot or cold after they're cooked, Asparagus Bombs come from the Big Green Egg website, but you can prepare them in a conventional oven.

Ingredients:
 

• 2

lg. bunches fresh Asparagus

• 1

lg. red onion , sliced

• 2

whole lemons, sliced

• 2

whole limes, sliced

• 6

sliced fresh garlic cloves

• 1

small bag (¾) cup of cajun spice powder

• 3

healthy dose fresh cracked pepper

• 1

generous sprinkling of garlic salt

• ½

stick butter - cut into fourths

• 1

red sweet pepper - sliced into long strips

Preparation Directions:
• First, spread out a large sheet of aluminum foil aprox. 24 x 16 on your working area. Place all the cleaned and stemmed asparagus on the foil and add all ingredients evenly to asparagus until well covered. Now, splash some red wine (cabernet) on the top of your bomb and wish it well. Take both sides of your foil and bring them together above the asparagus and fold over until you reach the top layer of your asparagus. Fold over the ends of the bomb so as to create a well-sealed bomb.

Cooking Directions:
• Place your bomb on a smoker grill or oven at 300 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes. Allow your bomb to steam; away from any open flames. Asparagus should be firm and crunchy to ensure proper presentation.

Special Instructions:
• Try to avoid soft, mushy asparagus or your bomb will not explode.
