      2 tb Fresh lemon juice

  Snap off the thick ends of the asparagus, cut the spears diagonally into
  bite-size pieces, and blanch in lightly salted water.
  
  Drain and cool.
  
  Meanwhile, beat the butter until light and blend in the lemon zest; season
  to taste with salt and pepper.
  
  Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  
  For each portion, fold a 12-inch square of baking parchment in half
  diagonally and crease the corners.
  
  Arrange one portion of tilapia filet on one side of the paper.
  
  Season with a little lemon juice and top with a quarter of the shrimp and
  asparagus.
  
  Dot with a quarter of the lemon butter.
  
  Fold the other side of the paper over the fish and seal the package into a
  half oval with a series of creases, starting with one corner and finishing
  with a twist at the opposite end.
  
  Repeat for the remaining portions.
  
  Bake the packages on a sheet pan until the paper is browned and puffy, 7 to
  8 minutes.
  
  To serve, slit open each package and slide the contents, out onto a plate;
  or serve in the paper, letting each diner cut open his own.
