Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
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.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using), cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and release their juices.
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.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the shrimp is heated through.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped basil and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately, either on its own or over rice, pasta, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
