2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 lbs fresh asparagus spears
1 lb shrimp, large deveined tails on
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest (optional)
1 pinch nutmeg (not too much!) (optional)

Steps:

In small bowl, combine water and cornstarch; blend well. Stir into lemon mixture. Cook over med heat until bubbly and thickened, stirring constantly, about 1-2 minutes. Turn burner on low and remember to stir every few minutes while preparing the shrimp and asparagus. NOTE: ingredients can be doubled for more glaze, if desired.
Sprinkle 1 TB lemon juice over shrimp in bowl. Toss to coat.
Place peeled, deveined shrimp with tails on singly in grill basket or on broiler sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick spray.
Set shrimp aside and prepare asparagus; Fill Dutch oven or stockpot with 3 inches of water; bring to a boil quickly using lid on pot. Trim asparagus and cut spears diagonally in half. Add asparagus. Reduce heat; cover and cook 3-5 minutes or until crisp-tender.
After reducing heat on asparagus, put shrimp on grill or under broiler 4-5 inches from heat for 4 minutes. Turn shrimp once and return to grill or broiler for 4 more minutes or until opaque.
Arrange asparagus in center of serving plate, criss-crossing stems artfully. Arrange shrimp in a circle around asparagus. Drizzle glaze over asparagus and shrimp.
If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds over top.
If desired, (very lightly!) sprinkle nutmeg over top.

Tips:

Choose fresh, large shrimp. This will ensure that they are juicy and flavorful.
Use a good quality olive oil. This will help to create a flavorful glaze on the shrimp.
Be sure to season the shrimp and asparagus well. This will help to enhance their flavor.
Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
Cook the shrimp until they are just cooked through. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
