Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Green Beans
Rinse the fresh green beans under cold water and trim the ends.
Blanch the Green Beans
In a large pot of boiling salted water, add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
Make the Chili Garlic Butter
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes, and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and golden brown.
Season and Serve
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and drizzle with lemon juice before serving. Serve warm.
