Lay out a roughly 9x12-inch piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a work surface. Add 4 lemon wheels to the center, then place the asparagus on top. Season with salt and pepper, then top with the pats of butter and any remaining lemon wheels. Pull two corners of the foil together and tightly crimp to seal them. Pull the remaining corners together to create a fully sealed packet.

Add the foil packet directly to the grill and cook until the asparagus is tender, about 15 minutes.
15 min - 4
Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. Unfold the packet and transfer the cooked asparagus to a serving platter. Then, pour the lemony butter sauce from the bottom of the packet over the asparagus, and serve.
