<\/figure>\n\n\n\nShrimp Oreganata combines shrimp, garlic, oregano and lemon juice (or lime juice in this case). This recipe serves it with a simple combination of cannellini beans and escarole for a delightful one pan meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is perfect for meatless Mondays, Lenten Fridays or when you want a quick and easy seafood meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients for Shrimp Oreganata<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The ingredients are pretty basic and easy to find, with one exception. I also offer some alternatives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- large shrimp (36\/40 or 26\/30) peeled and deveined<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- canned cannellini beans (or Great northern or butter beans)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- escarole (or radicchio, spinach, or chard)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- fresh lime or lemon juice<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- garlic cloves<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- extra virgin olive oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- smoked paprika (see below to make your own)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- dried oregano (see note below)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- salt and pepper<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional for serving)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The original recipe used dried oregano<\/strong>, the powdery stuff, not oregano leaves. You can go that route if that's what you have. I have several large oregano plants in my garden, so I tend to use either fresh or dried leaves from the plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To use dried leaves<\/strong>, crush them between your fingers as you add them to the beans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To use fresh leaves<\/strong>, finely chop 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves before adding them to the beans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you don't have smoked paprika<\/strong>, but want the lightly smoky taste, you can toast your own with plain paprika. Just pour some paprika into a small skillet and heat for a few minutes over medium low heat. Use \u00bd teaspoon for this recipe and save the rest in an airtight container for other recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
