Directions

Drain the beans over a bowl and reserve the liquid. Put the white beans in a large skillet with just enough of their liquid to moisten them. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and bring the beans to a low simmer. Keep them warm while you prepare the shrimp.
Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp, season with salt and cook for about 1 minute, tossing frequently. Remove the shrimp with tongs to a bowl. Add the garlic to the pan and saute until the garlic browns. Add the serrano chile or chili flakes and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomato and basil and stir briefly, then add the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 1 minute, and then stir in the shrimp. Toss well and cook briefly to reheat the shrimp. Remove the shrimp mixture to a plate and sprinkle with parsley.
Spoon the white beans on a platter or individual plates. Drizzle them with the best olive oil you have, and then top with the shrimp. Serve warm.

    This is such an easy, delicious, quick and healthy dish! I thaw frozen raw, peeled and deveined shrimp under cold water. This is a meal in in itself and I can make it with what I usually have on hand. Add some fresh asparagus, broccoli or spinach to up the nutritional content when you don't have the ingredients or time for a salad.

    Amazing, amazing, amazing. So simple. So delicious. I did not expect quickly seasoned and sauteed shrimp + warmed, canned beans to combine into one of our favorite dishes to date. You would never think this dish was prepared in less than 30 minutes, from start to finish. Keeper!
