After 3 minutes, drain the water from the asparagus and rinse them quickly with very cold water until they are no longer hot. Pat the asparagus dry. Additionally, slice 4 full length pieces of bacon in half long-ways, so you have 8 long strips of bacon.

One by one, wrap a strip of bacon around each asparagus, leaving a little space between each section of bacon.
