Besides being easy to make, this dish tastes great. The flavors meld together beautifully - the fresh herbs and balsamic vinegar brighten and enhance the flavors of the shrimp and beans. Use a good extra virgin olive oil and you won't be disappointed. I served this dish as a main course for dinner, adding a vegetable and bread to soak up the wonderful juices. My husband said it was good several times while we were eating it without my having to ask him!




Good, though a bit flat

Very good, though a bit flat. Not a lot of dimension to the tastes.




Good picnic fare

This was a really quick, and flavorful, light summer dish. I must admit that I did significantly reduce the olive oil. For additional zip, I served it over arugula for added color and flavor.




quick, easy, delicious

I made this for a dinner party with friends as a last minute side. The dinner party ended up getting cancelled, but I didn't mind too much because I got to eat this all by myself. It tasted even better the nest day.




Okay

Too bland, I added more balsamic but it didn't help much...




Surprising combination that's so great

I made this originally for a Christmas eve seafood dinner party - I thought the combination of beans and shrimp a little odd but thought it sounded interesting - not only did everyone gobble this down but many asked for the recipe - I myself have now made this 3 times for various occasions - I wouldn't change a thing ( I did have to substitute parsley for basil which I don't regularly have - still a great result) This is a great combination that is good for antipasto or as a meal itself with a little bread and salad.




Easy and so good

We prepared this for Christmas day and everyone loved it. We've had many requests for the recipe. It was extremely easy to make (however, next time we'll get the shrimp pre-shelled and deveined) and very tasty. This will definitely be a keeper. Can't wait to make it again.
