Lemony Shrimp and Bean Stew
By Sue Li From the New York Times
Yield:4 servings
? 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest and 2 tablespoons juice
? 1 teaspoon sweet or smoked paprika
? 2 garlic cloves, grated
? Kosher salt and black pepper
? 1 pound peeled, deveined large shrimp (tails removed)
? 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (? stick)
? 2 large leeks, trimmed, then halved lengthwise, white
and light green
parts sliced crosswise ?-inch thick (or 1 large onion,
minced)
? 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans or other white
beans, rinsed
? 2 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
? 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley (optional)
? Toasted bread, for serving (optional)
Preparation
1. Step 1
Combine lemon zest, paprika, garlic, ? teaspoon salt and ?
teaspoon
pepper in a medium bowl. Add shrimp and toss to coat.
2. Step 2
In a large pot, melt butter over medium-high heat. When
butter is
foaming, add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until
pink and
starting to curl, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon,
transfer shrimp
to a plate; set aside.
3. Step 3
Add leeks, season with salt and pepper, and cook over
medium until leeks
are soft and starting to brown on the edges, 4 to 5
minutes, stirring
occasionally. Add beans and chicken broth and bring to a
boil over high.
Lower heat and simmer, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in reserved
shrimp and any
juices from the plate, parsley and lemon juice, and season
with salt and
pepper. Serve with toasted bread.

Thanks Janet, I'm glad you enjoyed it. However, I must emphasise that although I posted it, it is Sue Li's recipe from the NYT.
I subscribe to their daily recipe e-mails and in today's group
there is a recipe for spicy shrimp and tomato stew from Gaza.
I intend to make it in solidarity with the Gazan Palestinians
but it contains 1-2 (or more to taste) jalapenos. That's too many
for my stomach so I'll use a smaller quantity of crushed chillies.

What a friggin' hateful anti - Semitic libtard piece of trash you are,

It would be FUN watching you choke to death on that vile rotten "gaza
stew"...

LOLZ...!!!

Could you use seeded jalapenos? That is where most of the heat is.

I suppose so but I'm leery of them. I sieve the crushed chillies
and I can detect a 1/4tsp of the resulting powder in a large pan
of sauce or stew.
I used to be able to eat very hot curries etc. but not any more.

You might want to avoid birds eye peppers. That is spice roulette. They
have a nice flavor but once in a while they are dangerously hot. I used
to make a sort of Thai soup with some lime juice, basil and a little
birds eye pepper. Sometimes a couple thin slices imparted a pleasing
heat and other times the same amount would make it so hot I could not
eat it.

I don't always have jalapeno in hand so I will use pickled jalapenos
instead. My experience is that they are usually at least twice as hot as
fresh.

My son always liked hot spicy food and when working in Uganda and very
broke he accepted a bet to eat a spoonful of some hot pepper concoction.
He won the bet but said it was almost burned a hole in his stomach.
