Garlic Shrimp with White Beans & Spinach
Juicy garlic shrimp tumbled with creamy white beans, spinach and lemon. Ready in under 25 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1½ lb raw shrimp (prawns), peeled (680 g)
- 1½ tbsp olive oil (21 ml)
- 6 cloves garlic, sliced (18 g)
- ½ tsp chili flakes (1 g)
- 2 cans (15 oz each) cannellini beans, rinsed (480 g)
- 1⅓ cups cherry tomatoes, halved (200 g)
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth (120 ml)
- 4 cups baby spinach (120 g)
- 1 lemon (60 g)
- ¼ cup Parmesan, grated (25 g)
- ¼ cup parsley (8 g)
- ⅓ tsp salt (2 g)
Per serving. Estimates.
Method
- Sear the shrimp. Pat the shrimp dry and season with the salt. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Cook the shrimp for 1–2 minutes per side, until pink. Transfer to a plate.
- Toast the garlic. Lower the heat to medium. Add the remaining oil, sliced garlic and chili flakes and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant and just golden.
- Simmer the beans. Add the beans, tomatoes and broth. Simmer for 5 minutes, crushing some of the beans with a spoon to make a creamy sauce.
- Add the greens. Stir in the spinach a handful at a time until wilted.
- Finish. Return the shrimp and their juices to the pan. Add the lemon juice and Parmesan and toss for 1 minute to heat through.
- Serve. Scatter with parsley and serve with crusty bread to mop up the sauce.
