Real Simple Dinner Crispy Shrimp with Garlicky Beans

Real Simple Magazine is a great source for those of us looking to simplify and streamline our lives.

I especially like their realistic approach to preparing quick and easy dinners that are usually healthy, utilizing fresh ingredients and uncomplicated preparations.

This month their 5 Easy Weeknight Dinners article offers lots of inspiration for getting dinner on the table in a hurry without sacrificing taste or health.

Last night I made Crispy Shrimp with Garlicky Beans modifying the recipe slightly.

I added a bit of lemon zest and lemon juice to the bread crumb mixture for the shrimp and substituted spinach for the arugula that wasn’t available at my grocery store.

The beans only required opening a can, giving them a quick rinse, and heating with a bit of garlic, olive oil, water and garlic.

I also roasted some sliced zucchini and cherry tomatoes along side the shrimp to boost our daily veggie count even higher.

What’s not to love about simple dinners that require minimal preparation, ten-twelve minutes of cooking and delivers  tasty healthy results?

Everyone loved it and agreed that it should be added to my ‘Definitely Make Again’ file!
