Cooking Instructions :
Use dried canned white beans, which are soaked overnight, and then simmer them until soft, about 4 hours. Start reheat them in some chicken stock or salted water. Place the garlic and parsley in the food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped, then start adding the butter in small pieces. Process until everything is nicely incorporated, green tinted, and garlic scented.
Remove part of the shrimp shell. Lay the shrimp flat on a cutting board, and cut lengthwise along the back shell (not the feet side!), carefully removing the top half of the shell, but keeping the tail intact. Once you have done that, place a small amount of butter mixture on the underside of the shell, and then replace the shrimp on top of the shell. You are lining the shell with the butter mixture. Broil the shrimp until done…1 to 2 minutes.
Strain the beans and place on a platter. Arrange the broiled shrimp on top of the beans, pouring any cooking liquid onto the beans. Sprinkle with some chopped parsley, and some orange peel zest.
Tip : Great with an assertive white wine, or a young, mellow red wine. |
