Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the green beans and blanch for 4 minutes until crisp-tender.
Transfer the beans to an ice bath to stop the cooking, then drain well.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the almonds and cook, stirring, until lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir in the shallot and garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the drained green beans and toss to coat, 1 to 2 minutes.
Stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste, toss once more, and serve.
