Oh y'all should try this. Especially if you're on low carb.
Butter beans and shrimp.
This is a very quick cook. Takes 10 minutes tops, not factoring in the brining process.
So get everything ready to go.
A bunch of garlic, chopped
lemon juice
Some red pepper flakes
Some stock or water
I brine my shrimp in 1 quart water, 1/4 cup kosher salt and 2 tablespoons sugar for 20 minutes. This gives me that pop texture, the shrimps just get plumped.
Then coat them with peanut oil, sprinkle some smoked paprika.
Get a skillet hot, quickly brown the shrimps in Ghee (or any neutral oil), do not cook them all the way. Set those aside.
Turn down heat, move the skillet off the heat to cool off. Add more ghee, pepper flakes and garlic. Cook until that garlic starts to smell good,
add drained butter bean or garbanzo beans. toss that around, season with salt, add a little stock, cook until the beans are warmed through. Add the shrimp back into the skillet and lemon juice. If the looks dry add a little more stock. The shrimp will finish cooking with the residual heat.
Here you can toss in a few greens, again I prefer arugula fr it's herby contribution besides being a vegetable.
