Garlic Snow Peas


1/3 Pound Fresh Snow Peas
3 Cloves Garlic, smashed
1 Small Shallot, Chopped
Butter

Nothing says spring like fresh snow peas.  Alright, that's possibly quite a big statement, what with cherry blossoms, girls in summer skirts, and, for those of you outside of SoCal, warmth.  Still, as far as fresh veggies go, snow peas are a delight.  Went to the farmers' market and picked up a bunch.  Here's a quick and easy way to cook them.

Place a generous pat of butter in a medium hot pan.  Add garlic and shallots immediately, and allow to soften for about two minutes.  Throw in the snow peas, toss, and cook for three more minutes.  You'll know the peas are done when they turn bright green.  Don't overcook.  

That's it!  Easy as can be and wonderfully tasty!
