With its miles of coastline and reputation as the home of mangiafagioli—or bean eaters—it’s no surprise that shrimp and white beans are a classic pairing in the cuisine of Tuscany, Italy. In this quick, easy recipe, the two are the stars, but with so few supporting ingredients, it’s important to use a dry white wine that’s good enough to drink on its own. Serve warm or at room temperature with a leafy salad and crusty bread to round out the meal.

Spectacular
Easy, pantry staples, quick. It’s a fantastic dish. I sort of “halved” to “three-quartered” the dish for two, and it worked perfectly. I salted and peppered the shrimp before tossing in rather than adding at the end and it came out perfectly. I also added a fairly heavy oil pour into the pot at the end before serving which also really worked.

Great combo
Great with half parsley and half basil and Butter beans. Fresh herbs key. This recipe and. Green salad makes a wonderful weekday meal.

Delicious
I made this for my folks and it was a big hit. I cooked a pound of Camellia white beans; I think the homemade beans help the dish if you’ve got the time or an Instant Pot. Really tasty especially with that fresh basil mixed in at the end. Will definitely make again!

Great Quick Shrimp Dish
I made it exactly as the recipes and it was tasty however, I would next time add some minced garlic which i think would have made it even more flavorful.
