(Gamberi e Fagioli)
Category: Shrimp, Lobster, and Scallops
Forte dei Marmi is a beautiful town on the Tuscan coast. It has an old-world elegance, with many Art Deco palazzos, some of which have been converted into hotels. Along the beach you can rent a lounge chair and an umbrella for a day, a week, or a month. My husband and I, with friends Rob and Linda Leahy, had a long discussion about whether to spend a day on the beach or eat at a restaurant called Lorenzo. Linda decided to soak up the sun while the rest of us went to the restaurant, which specializes in simple seafood preparations, like these shrimp. We were glad we did.


   16 to 20 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
   4 tablespoons olive oil
   2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh garlic
   2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
   Salt and freshly ground black pepper
   3 cups drained cooked or canned cannellini or Great Northern beans
   2 medium tomatoes, diced
   Fresh basil leaves, for garnish


1 In a bowl, drizzle the shrimp with 2 tablespoons of the oil, half the garlic, 1 tablespoon of the basil, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.

2 Place a barbecue grill or broiler rack about 5 inches away from the heat source. Preheat the grill or broiler.

3 In a saucepan, cook the remaining oil, garlic, and basil over medium heat about 1 minute. Stir in the beans. Cover and cook over low heat 5 minutes or until heated through. Remove from the heat. Stir in the tomatoes, and salt and pepper to taste.

4 Broil the shrimp on one side until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn the shrimp and cook until lightly browned and just opaque in the thickest part, about 1 to 2 minutes more.

5 Spoon the beans onto 4 plates. Arrange the shrimp around the beans. Garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately.
