Bring 1 to 2 inches of water to a boil in a medium skillet. Place asparagus in skillet, reduce heat to medium and cook until asparagus are tender-crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes; drain well and place asparagus in a large glass serving bowl.
In a cup, combine broth, ginger, lemon juice, scallion, salt and pepper; pour over asparagus. Set aside for 30 minutes to marinate. Yields 1/4 of asparagus per serving.
Garnish with lemon zest, if desired. This recipe can be doubled or tripled for larger gatherings.
