RECIPE BY Cooking Light

Sustainable Choice. Roasting shrimp in the oven is a hands-off route to bringing out robust flavor; the method also helps prevent overcooking, keeping shrimp tender. Prep tip: It's easier to grate the rind before juicing the lemon.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons plus 4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp
  • 1 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup unsalted chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind
  • 4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 1 ounce feta cheese, crumbled (about 1/4 cup)

Very flavorful

I made this as a main dish with some steamed broccoli on the side.  But next time I will put this over a bed of romaine lettuce.  I think this would be awesome as a salad.  Super easy too.

Whole family hit

Everyone in the family loved this one and I was so sorry that I hadn't thought to double it because we were all wanting more!  

Unique, easy, and tasty dish

I was hesitant at first to make this due to some of the negative reviews, and I'm so glad I ignored them. It was a very good, quick and easy dish. Made exactly as written and served with grilled sweet peppers and asparagus. Made great leftovers too and the extra bean sauce was also tasty on the grilled veggies. Would definitely make again even on a weeknight.

Delish Dish

I made this for a ladies night at my house. It was delicious and got rave reviews.  I decided to make it again for my daughters birthday party with family but we had 20 people so it was going to be costly with the shrimp.  I subbed in grilled chicken and actually put the whole dish out over arugula and it was amazing.  I've already sent the link to the recipe (by request) for five people since the party.  Love the lemon and minty flavors and the texture of the beans...delish :)  I did add more dijon and lemon juice to the dressing, felt like it needed a little more flavor.

I had leftover mint leaves so I was intrigued by this dish. I loved the lemony flavor with the mint, the shrimp cooked perfectly. Really delicious!

Meh. There are better ways to use shrimp than in this recipe. The beans ended up growing on me but it's definitely not a dish I would make again.

I made this recipe today and it was extremely acidic with the combination of 4 teaspoons of balsamic vinegar and lemon juice. The balsamic vinegar overpowered the other lovely flavors in this dish. If I make this again, I would definitely cut out the vinegar.
