Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 cups canned white beans, rinsed and drained
- 0.5 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0 to taste salt
- 0 to taste black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and slightly charred. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
Step 4
Add the garlic slices and red pepper flakes, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 5
Stir in the white beans and broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine and the beans to warm through.
Step 6
Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Stir well.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasonings with additional salt and black pepper, if needed.
Step 8
Serve hot, optionally accompanied by crusty bread or over rice for a heartier meal.
