RECIPE:
1lb peeled large shrimp
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 can drained white Beans (Cannellini are good )
1 teaspoons garlic from a tube or a clove of fresh garlic crushed
1 teaspoon of dried or fresh chopped basil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper
Using a stick blender or a food processor, blend the beans, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and basil. Season with a little salt and pepper.
Place in a saucepan on a very low heat, and warm through.
Meanwhile use the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and place it over the shrimp and season with a little salt and pepper.
Mix well.
Heat a large nonstick pan on a high heat and cook the shrimp for about 45 seconds to one minute each side.
Serve over the beans with a drizzle of olive oil.
