In need of a quick and delicious dinner ? This White beans and Shrimp Stew recipe is for you.It is a hearty comfort food which can be eaten on cold evenings either on its own or alongside a plate of rice or as a quick fix with some bread ( I eat bread for a living-lol )

What type of white beans can I use?


-Cannellini beans (White kidney beans)

-Great Northern beans

-Navy beans

-Lima beans (Butter beans)


I recommend using any white beans as long as it is pre cooked . If you do not want to use pre cooked white beans, first soak the beans in water for at least an hour to soften them before boiling.

For more flavor, I recommend adding my green sauce marinade. This is one of my recipes I am most proud of. It is packed with flavor and works well on almost everything.I use it as a marinade for fish, chicken, beef, in stews etc. Since it is a must have in my kitchen, I usually make a big pot of it and store some in my freezer for later use and the rest in my refrigerator.

What if I don't eat Shrimps?


If you do not eat shrimps, use beef, chicken, fish, or add a variety of vegetables to it and serve as a meatless course.


Accompany your Shrimp and White beans with a side of rice, fried plantains or garlic bread.
