Instructions

Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. Season the shrimp on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat, add the olive oil and heat through. Working in batches if needed to not overcrowd the pan, add the shrimp to the pan.
Cook the shrimp until pink and no longer translucent, about 1½ minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the pan to a plate or bowl and cover.
Return the pan to medium heat, add the butter and allow to melt, then add the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the Calabrian chili paste.
Deglaze the pan with the white wine, then add the white beans and stir to combine. Continue to cook over low heat until the beans are soft, about 10 minutes. Add the lemon zest and half the herbs, stirring to combine.
Return the shrimp to the pan, stirring to combine. Divide among serving bowls, garnish with the remaining herbs and serve with bread.

Notes

Forgot to thaw shrimp? No problem!

To quickly thaw frozen shrimp, fill a bowl with cold water and add the shrimp. Replace the water every 5 to 10 minutes until completely thawed, about 20 minutes. Warm water will change the texture of the shrimp so make sure your water is cold! Pat dry with paper towels and use as needed.
