Chop the shallots. Put the chopped shallots in a small bowl of cold water to soften their flavour, and set aside while you get on with the rest of the salad.
Fill a large pot with water, add a generous amount of salt, and bring to the boil. Drop in the green beans and cook for about 2 minutes, until just tender but still with a bit of crunch. Meanwhile, prepare a bowl of iced water. Using a slotted spoon, lift the beans out and plunge them into the iced water to halt the cooking. Drain the beans and also drain the shallots.
Chop the basil. Shred the Parmesan. In a large bowl, combine the green beans, the drained shallots, and the chopped basil. Drizzle over the olive oil and toss to coat everything. Then add the balsamic vinegar and the Parmesan, and toss once more. Adjust the seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste.
Refrigerate the salad until you are ready to serve.
