Garlic Lime Asparagus

Heat the butter and olive oil together in a large skillet over medium heat, allowing them to meld seamlessly. Introduce the aromatic flavors of garlic and shallots into the mixture, stirring gently to combine. Allow these ingredients to cook for 1 to 2 minutes, bringing out their full depth of flavor. Next, add the asparagus spears to the skillet and cook until they reach your desired level of tenderness, approximately 5 minutes. Finish by sprinkling a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the hot asparagus, followed by a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance its natural flavors. Finally, transfer the dish to a serving plate for presentation.
