Description
Everything — the shrimp, the beans and the garlic bread — cook together on one pan for an under 30-minute meal that requires very little cleanup. Canned cannellini beans get a little crispy in the high heat and their mellow creaminess serves to bring the other ingredients together, but you could also use any cooked bean you have on hand. The only real bit of work is making a pungent paste of garlic to spread on the bread, but if you are really pressed for time, just rub each piece of bread with the cut side of a garlic clove. (The flavor will be milder.) If you keep shrimp and bacon in the freezer, just thaw the shrimp in a bowl of warm water while you prep the garlic bread, and no need to defrost the bacon; just cut it up and use it frozen.
Ingredients
(one per line)
5large garlic cloves Coarse kosher salt 8ounces crusty bread, preferably dry or stale, cut into 1- to 1½-inch thick slices, halved if large 1pound large, shelled and deveined shrimp, tails on or off (fresh or defrosted) 5slices of bacon (about 4 ounces), sliced into matchsticks 1(15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained 1/2small lemon, very thinly sliced 1teaspoon red-pepper flakes 1/2teaspoon black pepper 1/3cup extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Finely chop the garlic, and run the flat of the knife over the garlic bits to smash them. Sprinkle a generous pinch of salt over the garlic and continue to chop and smash, until the garlic is a coarse paste. Spread the paste on one side of each piece of bread, then rub the unseasoned side of the bread over the cutting board to wipe up any remaining garlic. Put the bread into a large mixing bowl. Add the shrimp, bacon, beans, lemon, red pepper, black pepper, ½ teaspoon salt and the olive oil to the bowl. Fold to evenly combine. Pour everything onto a parchment-lined sheet pan and spread out evenly. Roast until the shrimp are curled and pink and the bread is golden and toasted around the edges, 14 to 15 minutes. Serve in shallow bowls.
