Ridiculously Easy Lemony Green Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb fresh green beans
    1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
    1 lemon, halved
    salt, to taste
Preparation
    Toss green beans in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, until bright green and still crunchy.
    Drain and \"shock\" in ice water to stop cooking.
    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Olive oil cooking spray works just as well, if you want to shave a few calories.
    Add beans and saute for 1-2 minutes, until heated through. It's okay if some of the beans brown up a bit.
    Transfer to serving dish.
    Squeeze lemon halves over the beans and toss to coat.
    Add salt to taste. (I omit this step).
