  1. Fill a large bowl with ice and water and set it aside.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the green beans and cook for about 3 minutes. Drain them and plunge into the ice water. Leave until completely cold, then drain again. At this point the beans can be kept covered in the fridge for up to two days before finishing.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the beans and butter, tossing to coat. Stir in the lemon juice, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Keep tossing and cook for about 3 minutes.
  4. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
