Ginger Green Beans

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 minutes YIELD: 8 servings
The bright gingery sauce on these green beans is delicious and so simple to whip up. It's perfection on either hot or cold beans, but I also really love it tossed with cooked shrimp. —Marina Castle Kelley, Canyon Country, California
