Delicious green beans but just a little too much lemon. Next time I will either omit or cut back on the lemon zest. However, we cleaned our plates. Super easy and delicious! Volunteer Field Editor

Delicious green beans! However the shallots were burning about 5 minutes in, so next time I'll wait 5 minutes until the green beans are done to add the shallots.
