Directions:
4. Prep green beans: Peel shallot and thinly slice lengthwise. Trim stem ends from green beans. Cut lemon in half.
5. Fry shallots: Heat 1⁄4 inch oil in a medium skillet over medium until shimmering. Add shallots and cook, stirring, until just golden and bubbles stop forming rapidly around shallots, 10–12 minutes. (Do not let shallots darken in oil, or they will taste bitter.) Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; season with salt. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons oil from skillet.
6. Cook green beans & serve: Add green beans and 1⁄4 cup water to skillet; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, tossing frequently, until water evaporates, and beans are crisp-tender, 8–10 minutes. Transfer beans to a serving platter and squeeze lemon halves over top. Just before serving, top with shallots.
