Ingredients

• 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 can Cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
• 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Season the shrimp with a pinch of salt and black pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using), cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and release their juices.

Step 6

Stir in the cannellini beans and chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the beans are warmed through and the flavors meld together.

Step 7

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the shrimp is heated through.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped basil and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Serve immediately, either on its own or over rice, pasta, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
