You'll love this fragrant dish, as stunning as a Puerto Vallarta sunset, for casual entertaining. For outdoor dining, arrange the shrimp on skewers and grill before adding to the aromatic beans.
 

Ingredients

1 small jalapeño pepper(s), cored, seeded and minced (use 1 pepper)   
1 small garlic clove(s), minced   
15 oz canned kidney beans, undrained   
1/4 tsp ground cumin   
1/4 tsp dried oregano   
1/4 tsp table salt   
1/4 tsp black pepper   
1 pound(s) shrimp, large, peeled   
1 1/2 Tbsp fresh lime juice, about the juice from 1 lime   
1/4 tsp paprika, hot   
2 Tbsp chives, minced   

Instructions

  • Coat a small pot with nonstick cooking spray. Add jalapeño and garlic; sauté over medium heat 2 minutes. Add beans, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper; simmer 10 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, place shrimp in a bowl with lime juice and paprika; toss to coat. Coat sheet pan with cooking spray. Arrange shrimp on cookie sheet. Place 4 inches under broiler and broil 3 to 4 minutes. Turn over and broil until cooked through, about 3 minutes more.

  • Spoon beans onto a large serving plate. Top with shrimp and sprinkle with chives. Yields about 1 cup per serving.
