Shrimp With Cannellini Bean Salad Recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb. large shrimp

1/2 c. olive oil

2 cloves garlic

1/2 tsp. salt

1 small onion

1 tbsp. Chopped flat-leaf parsley

1 1/2 tbsp. chopped fresh sage leaves

1 tbsp. Wine vinegar

1/4 tsp. fresh-ground black pepper

3 c. drained and rinsed canned cannellini beans (two 15-ounce cans)

Preparation

Step 1Light 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.Step 2In 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.Step 3Grill or broil the shrimp, turning once, until just done, about 5 minutes in all. Serve the shrimp with the bean salad.Step 4Wine Recommendation: The beans and the shrimp require a white with good body and full flavor. Tocai friulano gives you both, while at the same time contributing a lively acidity that refreshes the palate.
