Meanwhile, melt 2 Tbsp. butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, garlic and ½ teaspoon red pepper; cook over medium heat for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add asparagus and garlic; discard lemon. Cook for 30 to 60 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to transfer asparagus and garlic to a bowl; cover to keep warm.

Whisk together coconut milk, coconut rum, and lime zest and juice in skillet. Bring to boil; reduce heat.
