Love this recipe!! I make it almost once a week if not more some weeks. It's so simple! Still great even with onion instead of shallots. I let mine get a little more brown for flavor but sensational non the less. When I'm stressed for time after a long day at work I can even pick up a bag of regular green beans from the store. I boil them for about 4-5 mins and they come out perfect every time. There's almost no way to mess this recipe up!
