Last weekend’s kitchen theme was Chrissy Teigan’s second cookbook. Everything is easy and spicy just like my Saturday night quarantine DJ, so get ready for a slew of flavor. First up, Spicy Asparagus. Exactly what it sounds like.

Spicy Asparagus

• 1 bunch asparagus
• 2 T. vegetable oil
• 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
• 1/4 tsp. smoked paprika
• Kosher salt and black pepper
• 2 T. butter
• 2 T. chopped chives

1. Wash asparagus and remove the tough ends.
2. Heat oil over medium-high heat. Add asparagus, red pepper flakes, paprika, and salt & pepper.
3. Cook until tender 2-3 minutes.
4. Add butter and toss to coat. (could also skip this step!)
5. Season as desired and top with chives.
