Prosciutto Wrapped Asaparagus

Place a cooked, cooled asparagus spear at the base of one half strip of prosciutto, angled away from yourself at about 45 degrees. Wrap bottom section of strip around the bottom of the spear, leaving about 1-inch exposed. Roll the spear away from you, wrapping it in prosciutto as you go. Take care to leave the tip exposed. Repeat with remaining spears. Arrange on platter and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
