White Beans and Shrimp

Don't think I've ever had shrimp n beans. This looks good though

I'd eat a plate. I love white beans and I love shrimp. I don't see how that could taste bad.

Yep!

Butter beans and shrimp pair just fine!

I was going to say the same thing. Saw some butter beans in freezer earlier and thought they’d pair well with the shrimp I’m picking up this weekend.

One of my favorites right here. Sometimes I do this without the sausage.

Shrimp, Butter Beans and Sausage
Ingredients
• 1 pound Camellia Brand Large Lima Beans (Butter Beans)
• 1 ½ cups water
• ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• ½ pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
• ½ teaspoon hot sauce
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 12 ounces smoked sausage (use sausage of your choice)
• 1 tablespoon butter or oil
• 3 to 5 tablespoons butter or oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 2 celery ribs, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 cups chicken broth or chicken stock
• 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• 3 cups water
• salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste
• hot sauce to taste
Instructions
Rinse and soak butter beans. Pour beans, water and apple cider vinegar into a medium-sized bowl with a fitted lid. Refrigerate overnight.

Season the shrimp with the garlic powder, paprika, hot sauce and parsley flakes. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Slice sausage, and brown in cast iron Dutch oven.
Remove each piece of sausage when browned, transferring to a plate covered with paper towels.

Add more butter or oil to the Dutch oven, and brown the Cajun trinity of onion, bell pepper and celery, adding more butter if necessary, throughout the browning process.

Stir the minced garlic cloves into the pot, and cook for 1 additional minute, or until slightly browned and fragrant.
Drain the butter beans in a colander.
Pour the browned sausage, drained butter beans, chicken broth, water, parsley flakes, paprika, and salt, pepper, cayenne and hot sauce to taste into the pot.
Simmer the pot over a medium-low fire for 1 ½ hours, or until the beans are very tender.
Add the seasoned shrimp. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until shrimp are opaque.

Years ago I once made white beans and shrimp for our K of C fish fry dinners(like over 300 dinners)and at first some people were a little skeptical(it came as a side to the fried catfish)after they ate it they were sold on it and loved it.

Plate looks great.

Love the quadruple carb plate

Thanks for the recipe. Will have to try that one of these days. Looks good. The sweet potato and bread round it out nicely.
