Shrimp with Cannellini-Bean Salad Recipe

Shrimp with Cannellini-Bean Salad Recipe

  • 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, shelled
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 small onion, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
  • 1 tablespoon wine vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
  • 3 1/3 cups drained and rinsed canned cannellini beans
  1. Light the grill or heat the broiler. Thread the shrimp onto four skewers. In a shallow glass dish, combine 1/4 cup of the oil with the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Add the skewers and turn to coat the shrimp. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the onion with the remaining 1/4 cup oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt, the parsley, sage, vinegar, and pepper. Gently stir in the beans.
  3. Grill or broil the shrimp, turning once, until just done, about 5 minutes in all. Serve the shrimp with the bean salad.
