Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 400 grams white beans, canned
- 3 pieces celery stalks, thinly sliced
- 1 small red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 piece garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and lightly poach the peeled and deveined shrimp for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Drain and set aside to cool.
Rinse the canned white beans under cold running water and drain thoroughly. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the thinly sliced celery, diced red onion, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the beans.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and red chili flakes (if using) to make the dressing.
Once the shrimp have cooled, add them to the mixing bowl with the other ingredients.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring the ingredients are evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more lemon juice or salt to your preference.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
