Shrimp with Bacon and Collards image

Prepare this simple supper recipe in stages using one pan: first, fry the bacon; then, cook the collards; finally, saute the shrimp. Combine the shrimp and greens, serve atop cooked white rice, and garnish with bacon. In place of collard greens, you can use Swiss chard, kale, or green cabbage.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 cup long-grain white rice
4 slices bacon, thinly sliced crosswise
1 garlic clove, minced
1 medium yellow onion, diced medium
1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes
1 bunch collard greens, center ribs removed, leaves sliced crosswise
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

Add garlic and onion to skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and collards; season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until collards are tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Wipe skillet clean.
