Best Warm Shrimp And Beans Recipes

WARM SPINACH SALAD WITH CANNELLINI BEANS AND SHRIMP

Steps:

• Spread the spinach on a large platter. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat until crisp, about 4 minutes. Drain off all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and cook it with the bacon over moderately high heat until just white throughout, about 4 minutes. Add the beans, season with salt and pepper and toss until heated through, about 1 minute. Scrape the shrimp and beans onto the bed of spinach. In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the shallot and cook over moderately low heat until softened, about 1 minute. Add the mustard to the skillet and whisk in the red wine vinegar, then whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil. Season the dressing with salt and pepper, pour it over the salad and serve.

WARM SHRIMP AND BEANS

Steps:

• Cover beans with cold water to a depth of 2 inches above the beans. Soak for 4 hours or overnight.
• Drain the beans and place in a saucepan. Cover with cold water to a depth of 2 inches above the beans, bring to a boil, skim the surface, then lower the heat to medium. Cook the beans until they are tender, about 45 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/3 cup of the cooking liquid. Season the beans with salt and pepper to taste.
• Have four plates ready. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet, add the shrimp and stir in the oil until golden on both sides, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, rosemary, tomatoes, beans, reserved 1/3 cup of liquid from the beans and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring gently for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add remaining oil.
• Divide among the plates, arranging five shrimp on each like spokes of a wheel and mounding the bean mixture in the center. Serve.
