Choose plump fresh green beans that are free of blemishes. We prefer our green beans long as they look nicer for presentation. You can cut yours shorter if you like.
Fresh green beans are truly best here, but in a pinch you can use frozen green beans. I would recommend letting them thaw first. You can thaw them quickly submerged (in a plastic bag) in a bowl of cold water. Or, simply place them in a colander and run them under cold water until thawed. Then, pat them dry and toss them in the skillet continuing with the recipe instructions.
