Thai-inspired green beans and shrimp

Got green beans and basil in this week’s CSA haul which became this delicious dish inspired by the Six Seasons grilled beans with basil and spicy fish sauce sauce. McFadden recommends a dry char to bring out more of the vegetable’s flavor, instead of the flavor of hot oil.
