1. Trim bottom inch of asparagus spears; discard trimmings. Peel bottom halves of spears until white flesh is exposed. Cut spears on bias into 2-inch lengths.
2. Melt butter in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add water, garlic, and salt and stir to combine.
3. Add asparagus, shaking skillet to evenly distribute. Cover and cook, without stirring, for 2 minutes.
4. Uncover and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until skillet is almost dry and asparagus is crisp-tender, 2.5-3 minutes longer.
5. Combine 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in small bowl. Stir lemon zest mixture into asparagus and sprinkle with 1/4C shredded Parmesan.
6. Transfer to bowl and serve.
This recipe works best with asparagus spears that are about 1/2 inch thick. If using thinner spears, reduce the uncovered cooking time to 1.5 to 2 minutes. Use a 10-inch skillet to halve the recipe.
