Grilled asparagus wrapped in prosciutto is a delectable appetizer or side dish that combines the flavors of tender asparagus, salty prosciutto, and a hint of smoky char. The asparagus spears are first blanched to maintain their crisp texture and vibrant color, then wrapped in slices of prosciutto and grilled until the prosciutto is crispy and the asparagus is perfectly tender. Drizzled with a tangy balsamic glaze or a squeeze of lemon juice, this dish is a delightful balance of flavors and textures that will impress your guests or make your meal more delicious and interesting.

Steps:
- Trim the ends off of the asparagus spears and place in a large bowl or pan and cover with cold water and let stand for 1 hour. This will allow the asparagus to absorb a little moisture and stay crisp & moist when grilling. Drain asparagus. Drizzle asparagus with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Not too much just a little, add minced garlic and season to taste with freshly ground black pepper. Gently mix to evenly coat the asparagus. Lay a slice of prosciutto vertically (short end at the bottom) on a flat work surface. Place one seasoned asparagus spear across the middle of the prosciutto at the bottom end and roll up the asparagus tightly in the prosciutto. Repeat with remaining asparagus. Line up 4 prosciutto wrapped asparagus spears.
- Skewer the 4 spears together, 2 skewers per group of 4 wrapped asparagus.
- This will make it easier to grill the asparagus. Repeat until you have 6 skewers of 4. They end up looking like little rafts of prosciutto wrapped asparagus.
