⅛ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

455 grams asparagus

Prepare the grill for cooking over medium heat (200°C).
In a small bowl whisk the mayonnaise ingredients.
Remove and discard the tough bottom of each asparagus spear by grasping each end and bending it gently until it snaps at its natural point of tenderness, usually two-thirds of the way down the spear. For very thick spears, after snapping off the thick ends, use a vegetable peeler to peel off the outer skin from the bottom half of each spear.
