1) Prepare asparagus like normal (chop off ends, remove disgusting slimey parts) and add to a shallow marinade dish.
2) Melt a half a stick of butter
3) Add a ton of lemon pepper (no, I'm not one for precision with amounts) to butter.
4) Pour over asparagus and let sit for a bit. Make sure all the asparagus is coated with the mixture.
5) Toss on grill in vegetable grilling pan.
6) Coat asparagus as it cooks. Let it get a little blackened, but don't overcook it. Mushy asparagus is disgusting.
7) Eat (did I mention that there are many things I find repulsive about asparagus, but it's delicious when cooked like this)

A variation on grilled asparagus...
After NewChief's step 1 listed above, my wife brushes the asparagus with olive oil, then wraps prociutto italian ham around it, and then I throw them on the grill until the ham starts to get a little crispy. Awesome and easy.
