Bring a large pot of water to boil over medium high heat on the stovetop and fill a large bowl with ice water.
Add a large pinch of salt to the boiling water and drop in the green beans. Let them cook in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender crisp.
Remove and place in the bowl of ice water for 5 minutes and then remove them from the water to drain on a towel.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat on the stovetop and then add the bacon. Cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the crispy bacon to drain on a paper towel and pour out half of the bacon grease.
Add the shallots to the pan with the remaining bacon grease and saute for 1-2 minutes until light golden brown.
Next, add the green beans back to the pan and saute for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Lastly, season the green beans with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper, then add back the crispy bacon and toss to combine.
