Directions
- Preheat the broiler.
- Place the shrimp in a single layer in a baking pan. In a small bowl, combine the 2 cloves chopped garlic, the 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil, and salt and pepper. Pour the mix over the shrimp and toss to coat them proportionately. Broil the shrimp, 4 inches from the heat, turning them after 2 min. Remove the shrimp from the broiler, remove them to a plate to prevent overcooking, and turn the oven to 375 F. degrees.
- In a large bowl, toss together the 2 cans white beans, the 1 minced red onion, and celery stalks.
- In a small saucepan, heat the 1 Tbsp. canola oil over medium heat for 20 seconds. Add in the 1/4 c. lemon juice, and heat another 20 seconds. Add in the 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes and salt to taste, and remove the pan from the heat. Pour the warm dressing over the beans and toss to combine
- Step 2: prepare the dessert:Rinse the 2 pints berries. Hull the berries and cut them in half. In a medium bowl, place the berries and sprinkle with the 3 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar and 2 Tbsp. sugar. Toss and chill till ready to serve.
- Step 3: serve:Divide the watercress and radicchio among 4 dinner plates. Spoon some of the white bean salad over the greens in the center of the plate. Surround with the shrimp.
- Slice the hot French bread and place it in a bread basket and take it to the table.
- When ready to serve, place the berries in dessert bowls or possibly stemmed glasses.
- Serving Ideas : Serve with hot French bread.
- NOTES : I think I'd be tempted to use my favorite fat free Italian dressing on the beans. It would cut down on the fat. And I like it. Shrimp marinade could be changed according to taste too. As could salad dressings.
