Method
Bring a large pan of water to the boil, then drop in the green beans and cook for 4-5 mins until they are just cooked but still bright green and with a slight crunch.
While the beans are cooking, heat the butter in a large shallow pan and soften the shallot. Add the mustard and crème fraîche, and bring to a simmer to combine. Add the drained beans and lemon juice, stir until evenly coated, then serve straight away.
