Snow Peas with Toasted Almonds

This is a quick, delicious side for Five-Spice Roast Chicken.

1 Tbs unsalted butter
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/2 lb snow peas, trimmed
2 tsp minced shallot
1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Melt butter in medium skillet over medium heat. Add almonds and cook until golden and fragrant and butter begins to brown, stirring frequently, about 1 1/2 minutes.

Add snow peas and shallot; sauté until snow peas are crisp-tender, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.

Remove skillet from heat; add lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and serve.
