Paprika Shrimp & Green Bean Saute

From EatingWell: January/February 2009, April/May 2005, The EatingWell Healthy in a Hurry Cookbook (2006)

Green beans add snap and color to the garlicky shrimp and butter beans in this Spanish-inspired sauté. Slightly pricier prepeeled shrimp are worth it, given the amount of time they save on a harried weeknight. Serve with quinoa or brown rice.

A favorite!

I couldn't find butter beans, so I used white kidney beans and fresh sprouted beans, and was very happy with the result. I also substituted a herb mix for the salt. The flavor was powerful and wonderful, and I'll definitely be making this again.

I really liked this recipe

My husband and I both really liked this. I made a few minor seasoning changes/additions. I only used one can of butter beans. I added a sprinkle of salt, some red pepper flakes, and cayenne (around a 1/4 teaspoon of each) to the shrimp. I also added a squirt of lemon juice to the shrimp and the green beans. I served it with yellow rice. My husband and I both really liked it and I'll definitely be making it again. Also, tomorrow I'm planning to serve the cold left over shrimp on salad.

Pros: easy, quick

easy and delicious!

The ingredients for this were all relatively inexpensive (buy frozen shrimp to cut costs over fresh), and this dish was extremely simple to make. The paprika and garlic just popped with the shrimp flavor, and the beans complimented each other well. I recommend making it with quinoa instead of brown rice, just tastes better :)

Pros: healthy, quick, easy, affordable

It is true that it needs

It is true that it needs flavor, but it is healthy this way. If you take the added items or flavor you had, it adds calories as well. It is not a diet recipe then.

Disappointing

Recipe calls for way too much vinegar. Even using a good red wine vinegar - one that I enjoy very much and use frequently in recipes - the flavor was overpowering and unpleasant. You couldn't taste the garlic or paprika at all. After tasting it, I wouldn't suggest using more than a tbsp of vinegar at the very most. But I don't believe I'll make this recipe again, it was disappointing.

Perfect meal when you add a few extra ingredients.

I loved ther recipe as a starter but it needed some flavor. I added a half an onion, turmeric and soy sauce to the oil. I added some polish sausage with the shrimp. I used dry navy beans and soaked them over night. I cooked them in butter and salt. I boiled the green beans in olive oil, salt and pepper.

Pros: light and healthy
