Green Beans With Caramelized Shallots

This is a weight watchers recipe that i printed off. it sounds nice like a healthy side dish. the recipe calls for fresh green beans but i don't see why it wouldn't work with a good quality of frozen.

Steps

Rinse the green beans and steam over boiling water until crisp tender , about 5 minutes.
These can also be placed in a microwave safe dish and microwaved 4 to 5 minutes or again until crisp tender.
Over medium heat , melt butter in a nonstick skillet.
Add shallots.
Cook stirring often until golden brown , approximately 5 minutes.
Add the green beans and toss until hot.
Season with salt and pepper sprinkle with lemon zest and serve.

Ingredients

green beans, light butter, shallots, salt, black pepper, lemon zest
