Grilled shrimp with white beans - a classic combo.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups cooked cannellini beans
• 1/2 medium red onion, sliced paper-thin
• 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh marjoram
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
• 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves
• 12 very large shrimp
• 2 cups arugula

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat grill.

In a bowl, stir together the beans, onion, herbs, 2 tbsp of oil, and the lemon zest and juice. Season and set aside.

Bring 3 cups of water to boil in a small saucepan. Boil mint leaves for 30 seconds then drain and shock in an ice bath. Drain, squeeze out excess liquid, and transfer to a food processor. Add 1/4 cup of oil and process for 1 full minute.

Season shrimp, brush with oil and grill until cooked through.

Mix arugula with the beans and arrange on plates. Add shrimp to plates and drizzle with mint oil.
