Time 3h40m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 pound white beans
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 bay leaf
1 pound medium-size shrimp, shelled and cleaned
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1 white onion, peeled and minced
1/4 cup minced parsley
1 tomato, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more to taste

Steps:

  • Cover the beans with cold water. Set aside to soak overnight. Drain, rinse under cold water and place in a heavy-bottomed pot. Add 2 cups cold water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the bay leaf. Simmer until tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Place the shrimp in a large nonstick skillet. Add the cayenne and cook over medium-low heat until the shrimp is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Combine the lemon juice and olive oil in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the garlic, onion and parsley. Add the beans, shrimp and tomato. Toss to combine. Season to taste with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, and up to 6, before serving.

The shrimp were overcooked and rubbery.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I would add some chopped red onion or celery for some extra flavor.

I'm not a fan of mayonnaise-based dressings, so I used a vinaigrette instead. It was still very good.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I usually have some leftover from shrimp tacos or shrimp scampi, and this is a great way to use them up.

I added some chopped avocado to my salad, and it was delicious! I also think it would be good with some grilled corn or tomatoes.
