Grilled Asparagus With A Basil Goat Cheese Sauce

This spring or summertime dish adds a touch of sophistication and kapow to grilling asparagus. it is based off of a sauce by mean chef, #41126, used with bbq shrimp. the key lies in the contrast between seasoned, grilled aspargus and the subtle herbed cream. a possible variation would be to substitute cream cheese for goat cheese, though i have not tried it.
