Tuscan Shrimp with White Beans is a classic Italian dish that combines succulent shrimp, creamy white beans, and a medley of aromatic vegetables in a flavorful tomato-based sauce. This hearty and comforting dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.

The recipe starts with sautéing shrimp in olive oil until golden brown and then setting them aside. In the same pan, a combination of diced onion, celery, carrots, and garlic is cooked until softened. Next, crushed tomatoes, white beans, and a blend of Italian herbs are added to the pan and simmered until the sauce thickens. The reserved shrimp are then returned to the pan and gently stirred until heated through.

Meanwhile, a side of garlicky sautéed spinach is prepared, adding a vibrant green color and a boost of nutrition to the meal. The spinach is simply wilted in olive oil with garlic and a pinch of salt until tender.

To complete the dish, a serving of creamy polenta is prepared. Polenta, a traditional Italian cornmeal dish, is cooked with milk and butter until smooth and creamy. This rich and comforting side perfectly complements the flavors of the shrimp and white bean stew.

Overall, Tuscan Shrimp with White Beans is a delightful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed on its own or served with a side of garlicky sautéed spinach and creamy polenta. Its combination of fresh ingredients, aromatic herbs, and rich flavors makes it a true culinary delight.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound dried Great Northern, navy, pea or other white beans
2 quarts chicken stock
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1/4 cup chopped fresh flatleaf parsley

Add 1 teaspoon of salt in the final 15 minutes of cooking. The addition of salt earlier in the cooking process will result in tough beans.

Lemony Shrimp and Bean Stew image

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.

SHRIMP AND WHITE BEANS WITH FENNEL AND PANCETTA



Shrimp and White Beans With Fennel and Pancetta image

This quick, one-pan meal relies heavily on pantry staples. Browning pancetta or bacon adds richness to the tomato sauce, but skip it if you like. Anise-flavored fennel and seeds are incorporated into the soffrito, which plays nicely with the sweetness of the shrimp and the creaminess of the beans. But if you don't like them, leave them out. Serve the dish in deep bowls with thick slices of garlic-rubbed toast, finish the dish with a flurry of fresh herbs, and pair it with a glass of something red, light and bright.

Categories     dinner, for two, weekday, seafood, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling (optional)
4 ounces pancetta or bacon, diced
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 small or medium fennel bulb (about 6 ounces), tough outer leaves and stems discarded and thinly sliced crosswise, plus 1 tablespoon roughly chopped fronds
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes (optional)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes with their juices, tomatoes crushed by hand
1 pound jumbo shrimp, preferably wild, peeled and deveined
1 (15-ounce) can white beans, such as butter beans or cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh herbs, such as Italian parsley, basil, mint or a combination (optional)

Steps:

  • In a deep 12-inch skillet, heat the olive oil over medium. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Add the onion and sliced fennel to the skillet and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic, fennel seeds and red-pepper flakes, if using, and cook until the garlic begins to soften and the fennel seeds become aromatic, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and their juices. Fill the tomato can halfway with water, swish it around and add that, too.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook on medium-low, allowing the flavors to come together, about 15 minutes.
  • Turn heat back to medium, stir in the shrimp and cook until just pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the beans and the cooked pancetta and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.
  • Divide among bowls, top with the herbs and drizzle with a bit more olive oil, if desired.

TUSCAN SHRIMP WITH WHITE BEANS, TOMATOES AND BASIL



Tuscan Shrimp With White Beans, Tomatoes and Basil image

We love to have this out on the back porch in the summer if the mosquitoes aren't hungrier than we are! You, of course, can have it anytime of year you want. Very simple and clean flavors. A green salad, crusty garlic bread, and crisp white wine make a classic meal.
