On frozen asparagus

We at Recipes really like to share what really works in our kitchens. We also feel a responsibility to share what doesn’t.
Here is one thing in my [Leeann’s] experience that doesn’t: frozen asparagus. While this might be well used in a quiche or other mixture, it is useless as a side dish, as there is pretty much zero space between still frozen and grossly overdone.
If you have ideas on how to properly prepare frozen asparagus as a side dish, please, please share, as it does tend to be cheaper than the fresh stuff. Otherwise, I advise against its use.
