Shrimp White Bean Stew Recipes

LEMONY SHRIMP AND BEAN STEW

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.

TUSCAN SHRIMP WITH WHITE BEANS

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.

SHRIMP, WHITE BEAN AND KALE STEW

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, until the edges are browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the kale, season with salt and pepper and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Stir in the white beans, chicken broth, 1 cup water and a pinch of salt. Add the bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer; cover and cook until the kale is tender, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Put the baguette pieces cut-side up on a baking sheet and broil until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add to the simmering stew, cover and cook until opaque, about 3 minutes. Season the stew with salt, if needed. Discard the bay leaves, then divide the stew among bowls. Drizzle with more olive oil and serve with the bread.

GARLIC SHRIMP AND WHITE BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large, heavy, ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add 1 garlic clove, chiles, and bay leaf and cook, stirring constantly, just until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (do not allow garlic to burn). Add tomato; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring and smashing tomato with the back of a wooden spoon, until tomato is completely broken down, about 5 minutes.
• Add tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, until paste is deep red and caramelized, 3-4 minutes. Stir in beans and broth. Bring to a brisk simmer and cook until juices are slightly reduced and thickened, 3-4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Combine remaining 2 garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons oil, shrimp, and paprika in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper and toss to evenly coat shrimp. Scatter shrimp over beans in an even layer.
• Broil until shrimp are golden and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Drizzle remaining 2 tablespoons oil over shrimp and beans; garnish with parsley. Serve with bread, if desired.
