Haricots Verts With Carmelized Shallots image

I love the tiny little green beans I can find packaged in some grocery stores labeled haricots verts! I can just eat them like candy, but they are even better cooked this way!

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb French haricots vert, trimmed (tiny green beans)
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1/2 tablespoon light brown sugar
