Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups canned Cannelloni white beans
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
16 large shrimp, peeled (tail left on) and deveined
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 small serrano chile, thinly sliced or 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
1 cup peeled, seeded and diced fresh tomato, canned or fresh
1 cup whole basil leaves
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Italian flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Best-quality extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Drain the beans over a bowl and reserve the liquid. Put the white beans in a large skillet with just enough of their liquid to moisten them. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and bring the beans to a low simmer. Keep them warm while you prepare the shrimp.
  • Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp, season with salt and cook for about 1 minute, tossing frequently. Remove the shrimp with tongs to a bowl. Add the garlic to the pan and saute until the garlic browns. Add the serrano chile or chili flakes and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomato and basil and stir briefly, then add the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 1 minute, and then stir in the shrimp. Toss well and cook briefly to reheat the shrimp. Remove the shrimp mixture to a plate and sprinkle with parsley.
  • Spoon the white beans on a platter or individual plates. Drizzle them with the best olive oil you have, and then top with the shrimp. Serve warm.

With minimal prep and a quick cook time, this shrimp stew feels elegant for such an easy weeknight meal. You can also take the dish in a number of directions: Substitute the shrimp with an equal amount of flaky white fish or even seared scallops, or stretch the dish into a meal for six by stirring in some butter and serving over cooked spaghetti or rigatoni. A good glug of your best olive oil would also be a welcome.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest and 2 tablespoons juice
1 teaspoon sweet or smoked paprika
2 garlic cloves, grated
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound peeled, deveined large shrimp (tails removed)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
2 large leeks, trimmed, then halved lengthwise, white and light green parts sliced crosswise 1/2-inch thick (or 1 large onion, minced)
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans or other white beans, rinsed
2 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Toasted bread, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine lemon zest, paprika, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Add shrimp and toss to coat.
  • In a large pot, melt butter over medium-high heat. When butter is foaming, add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink and starting to curl, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to a plate; set aside.
  • Add leeks, season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium until leeks are soft and starting to brown on the edges, 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add beans and chicken broth and bring to a boil over high. Lower heat and simmer, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in reserved shrimp and any juices from the plate, parsley and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Serve with toasted bread.

Yield Makes about 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound dried cannellini (white kidney beans)
8 cups room-temperature water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large head of garlic, unpeeled, top 1/2 inch cut off to expose cloves
1 large fresh sage sprig
1/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil (for drizzling)

Steps:

  • Place beans in large bowl. Cover with cold water (at least 6 cups) and let soak overnight.
  • Drain beans. Place in heavy large pot. Add 8 cups room-temperature water, 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, sage, and black peppercorns. Bring to simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to mediumlow; simmer uncovered 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Mix in 1 teaspoon coarse salt. Continue to simmer until beans are tender, adding more water if needed to keep beans covered, about 30 minutes longer. Cool beans in liquid 1 hour.
  • Using slotted spoon, transfer beans to serving bowl, reserving bean cooking liquid, if desired, but discarding garlic, sage, and peppercorns. Season beans to taste with pepper and more coarse salt. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the shrimp will not cook evenly and will become tough.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque. Overcooking will make them tough.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. This will add flavor and richness to the dish.
  • Season the shrimp generously with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Add the garlic and red pepper flakes towards the end of cooking. This will prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. This is when they are at their best.

Conclusion:

This garlicky shrimp and cannellini beans recipe is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful garlic and olive oil sauce, and the cannellini beans add a creamy texture and protein boost. This dish is also a good source of healthy fats and fiber.
