SHRIMP AND WHITE BEANS WITH FENNEL AND PANCETTA
This quick, one-pan meal relies heavily on pantry staples. Browning pancetta or bacon adds richness to the tomato sauce, but skip it if you like. Anise-flavored fennel and seeds are incorporated into the soffrito, which plays nicely with the sweetness of the shrimp and the creaminess of the beans. But if you don't like them, leave them out. Serve the dish in deep bowls with thick slices of garlic-rubbed toast, finish the dish with a flurry of fresh herbs, and pair it with a glass of something red, light and bright.

Steps:
- In a deep 12-inch skillet, heat the olive oil over medium. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Add the onion and sliced fennel to the skillet and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic, fennel seeds and red-pepper flakes, if using, and cook until the garlic begins to soften and the fennel seeds become aromatic, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and their juices. Fill the tomato can halfway with water, swish it around and add that, too.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook on medium-low, allowing the flavors to come together, about 15 minutes.
- Turn heat back to medium, stir in the shrimp and cook until just pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the beans and the cooked pancetta and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.
- Divide among bowls, top with the herbs and drizzle with a bit more olive oil, if desired.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a variety of beans. White beans are a classic choice, but you can also use black beans, kidney beans, or chickpeas.
- Add some vegetables. Vegetables add color, texture, and nutrients to the salad. Some good choices include fennel, celery, carrots, and bell peppers.
- Use a light dressing. A light dressing will allow the flavors of the shrimp, beans, and vegetables to shine through.
- Serve the salad immediately. Shrimp salad is best served immediately, while the shrimp is still warm and the vegetables are crisp.

Shrimp, fennel, and white bean salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. So next time you are looking for a light and refreshing salad, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
