Recipe from SIZZLE: Sensational Barbecue Food by Julie Biuso.

These asparagus wraps are imbued with a hint of caramelly smokiness. The salt “hit” from crisp prosciutto is wiped clean by lemon and mint, making them irresistible. You can make up the wraps a few hours before cooking as long as you keep them refrigerated, but bring them to room temperature before cooking. Accompany with lemon wedges or a spicy dipping sauce.
