I will definitely try this recipe!
This looks amazing 🤩
Hi 🙂 ! I enjoyed your video!! 👍👍 I have only cooked Cannellini Beans w/Pork Chops & made Pasta Fagioli w/them. I was planning to cook a Shrimp dish tomorrow evening, thank you for your Recipe!! I will be giving it a try 😋😋. TYFS!!!
This was delicious!
Cooked anchovies remind me of roasted salty nuts. No they certainly do not taste like fish. This is how I get people who say they hate anchovies to eat them and learn to love them. A pizza is not their best showing. 🙂
Tuscans have always been known as the bean eaters. I lived in Tuscany and they still eat lots of beans now out of choice. If you go to anyone's house and they make you a tuna salad it will have white beans in there. 🙂
I may have to try this only because I find shrimp and beans incongruous. Beans = big and hearty, shrimp = light and fresh. Doesn’t sound like a good pairing (but what do I know). (Now, beans and octopus, that sounds right.)
Also, why sugar in the brine? That seems unappealing to me.
This is Good
I just watched this. There were so many things wrong I wanted to jump into the TV. Brine sugar!!? Are you crazy. Tomato no? There is a restaurant in Brooklyn called Gino in Bay Ridge that makes this. Clean delicious taste. I'm sure this woman is very nice, but she is one of my least favorite cooks on the show. A lot of unnecessary steps.
We tried this, it turned out great…highly recommended
I find most of the recipes ATK demonstrate are more complicated than they need to be. There is really no need to brine the shrimp, make a shrimp stock, or add the anchovies. This dish would taste just as good without all the extra time and fuss.
I want some on jasmine rice thank you, door dash that to me plz😊😊
this looks awful. c’mon atk! the curse of chris kimball still haunts you.
I made this last night and it was so delicious! The shrimp stock really added a crazy amount of flavor. Worth the effort of peeling and deveining a pound of shrimp. I didn't have any fresh basil, so I used a few shakes of high-quality dried basil, plus a little fresh parsley. A good substitution. Will definitely make again.
What would you serve as a side? My family needs a bit extra…
Woooowww – never saw such a recipe , but looks phenomenal!! Love the add of the anchovies n red pepp flake too – Great instruction on da make too – concise n clear
Well Done !!! Bravo !!
That looks so wonderful and so simple. Thank you, my friends!
Solid and informative video as always. I’d gladly eat that. I might even cook it.
However you pressed one of my buttons, and I need to vent:
I know that Tuscany is filled with odd little micro-regional accents. For example, in Prato there seems to be no “k” or hard “c” sound. That stated, I don’t think that any Tuscan has ever pronounced the Italian word for “beans” as if they grew up in Dirty Jerz!
Love shrimp, thanks
Oh, I’m doing this. I LOVE beans. The hospital where I work used to have Senate Bean soup, I’d love a recipe for that. Never found a good one.
OMG – looks so good! can not wait to make!
You should have used that pic at
:03 as thumbnail. The thumbnail that's used doesn't look appetizing. It looks like a struggle plate. Reminds me of the beanies and weanies I made when I got home from elementary school.
Portuguese have a very similar tradicional dish: FEIJOADA DE MARISCO (no sugar though…)
Becky's inflection and energy has gotten MUCH better!
Some people think beans and seafood are a strange combination, but they're in fact very complementary. One of my favorite dishes to make is sauteed scallops over cannellini beans with escarole.
Looks wonderful! I gotta try this!
I am so making this, looks delicious. I started doing the "shrimp shell stock" from your scampi recipe, it makes all the difference in the world.
Trying it this weekend. Very economical shrimp meal. Just need sliced tomato and cucumber salad.
Love this. Can make so many Tuscan dishes using this technique. Reminds of dish from old Ciro's in Provincetown using sundried tomatoes, wilted spinach and served over a pasta. Hit it with some grated Pecorino at the end.
