This is a Weight Watchers recipe that I printed off. It sounds nice like a healthy side dish. The recipe calls for fresh green beans but I don't see why it wouldn't work with a good quality of frozen.

Over medium heat, melt butter in a nonstick skillet; add shallots.
Cook stirring often until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes (if needed add a touch of water to prevent burning).
