1. 1

   We developed this recipe with beans that were about 1/4 inch wide. If your haricots verts are skinnier, decrease the water to 3 tablespoons and decrease the covered cooking time to 2 minutes.
2. 2

   Arrange haricots verts in even layer in 12-inch skillet . Add water and sprinkle evenly with salt . Cook over medium-high heat until water is sizzling. Cover and continue to cook until beans are bright green and crisp tender, about ⏱️ 3 minutes longer, tossing beans twice during cooking. Reduce heat to medium. Add unsalted butter and minced shallot and continue to cook, uncovered, tossing beans frequently, until water has evaporated, about ⏱️ 1 minute longer. Season with salt to taste, and serve.
