1 Pound Green Beans
1 ½ TBS grapeseed or olive oil

Prep your green beans by cleaning them up and snipping any ends necessary. Keep them whole or cut them into bit sized pieces.
Heat oil in a non-stick skillet or frying pan. Add in your green beans and saute for 1 minute.
Add in Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper.
Cook for 5-7 more until either crisp-tender or cooked to your liking. Add in a TBS or two of water to help them along. Cover with a lid.
Just before serving, spritz with a little fresh lemon juice, toss and serve.

Depending on the Cajun seasoning you have...it may or may not be salty. If it is not salty, add in some salt.

If you prefer your green beans cooked through, add a TBS or so of water to the pan to allow them to cook through.
