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.
- Preheat grill to medium high 450-550° F. Cook asparagus until tender and prosciutto crisps, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove from grill, drizzle with a little extra olive oil and balsamic vinegar and serve immediately with grilled Tony Roma's BBQ Baby Back Ribs.

BBQ GRILLED PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS BUNDLES
Low heat on a charcoal fire is perfect for grilling these bundles. Over low heat, fat renders out of the prosciutto, causing it to shrink and tightly grip the asparagus bundles. I often lay 1/2 of the charcoal on one side of the grill for a hot fire and the other 1/2 for a low fire, for cooking vegetables like these.This recipe is one I found in "Cuisine at Home" magazine. It is a wonderful side dish to "dress up" your outdoor grilled dinner menu.

Tips:
- Select the right asparagus: Choose asparagus spears that are firm, straight, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted, limp, or have woody ends.
- Trim the asparagus: Cut off the tough, woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can do this by snapping off the ends where they naturally break, or by using a sharp knife to cut them off.
- Prepare the prosciutto: If the prosciutto slices are too thick, you can pound them out with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are about 1/8-inch thick.
- Wrap the asparagus: Lay an asparagus spear on a prosciutto slice and roll it up tightly. Secure the roll with a toothpick if necessary.
- Grill the asparagus: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the asparagus rolls with olive oil and grill them for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the prosciutto is crispy and the asparagus is tender.
- Serve the asparagus: Serve the grilled prosciutto-wrapped asparagus as an appetizer or side dish. You can drizzle them with balsamic vinegar, melted butter, or your favorite dipping sauce.
