Preheat the grill to medium-high.

Wash the asparagus and shake dry. Hold the center and the end of the asparagus and bend to break off woody ends. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Place the asparagus and lemons, cut side down if using, directly on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender crisp with char marks. Turn occasionally.

Remove the lemon & asparagus from the grill and immediately top asparagus with parmesan cheese. Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over top and serve warm with butter if desired.
