LOVED this! It makes a fantastic quick and healthy meal, and the flavors are spot on. One note- the "suggested" lemon wedges are a MUST; the juice really brightens and unifies the shrimp and chickpeas.

This recipe is soo good for a quick and delicious lunch! I made it once by following the recipe but I liked it better with a few changes I made. To save on some unneeded calories and fat I cut the oil. For the chickpeas I just sprayed the pan with cooking spray and only cooked them 10 minutes so they still remain soft but get browned. I also added a very minimal amount of oil to the shrimp..and no oil at all after they are done cooking. I found adding a steak seasoning like montreal steak to the shrimp in place of salt gives it a lot more flavor also. great recipe!

You know how a few simple, high quality ingredients can combine to create a delicious dish? That doesn't happen with this one. The lemon zest is overpowering. The chickpeas are mealy. When you pour in olive oil to moisten the chickpeas and keep them from scattering across the plate, the shrimp gets a bit greasy. It's an OK dish, but the textures and flavors just don't come together that well.

I would give 3 stars except shrimp and white beans are a classic combination that I've tried a couple times now, and am realizing I don't care for. I love chickpeas, I love white beans, I love shrimp - just not together. If you like this combo, you may well enjoy this dish.

Excellent and easy - added fresh spinach on top of the roasted chickpeas and under the shrimp - gave it some extra veggies!

When my husband said, "let's make this," I was skeptical. Canned garbanzos just seemed, well, canned. But then this smell started to waft from the kitchen, garlicky and good. The flavor and texture were wonderful. The meal is so hearty - all you need is a salad for a little vitamin green and you're set. We have this almost every week now.

This dish was amazing. I got creative and served it over whole wheat penne pasta. The garlic and hint of fresh lemon was the perfect combination of tang and zest.
I will be making this again and again.

Neat, quick and easy! Very tasty and fun. Toasting the chickpeas adds a very nice character to the dish.
