Add the green beans and cook 2-3 minutes, until they turn bright green. Drain, then immediately rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking. Drain again. Heat the oil in a large (12-inch) non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the almonds, stirring to coat with the oil. Add the shallot, garlic, pepper, and ½ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the shallots become softened and the almonds are toasted, about 5 minutes. Add the green beans to the skillet, using tongs to toss them with almond mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until heated through. Then, transfer the green beans to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and serve with the lemon wedges. NOTES The green beans can be parboiled up to 3 days ahead. Store in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
