Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 400 grams White kidney beans (canned, drained, and rinsed)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and sprinkle with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine, letting the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Add the white kidney beans to the skillet and gently toss to coat them in the sauce. Cook for another 3-4 minutes to heat the beans through.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss everything together to ensure the shrimp and beans are evenly coated in the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm, either on its own, with crusty bread, or over rice for a heartier meal.
