Recipe By: Delallo

Ingredients

Zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 teaspoons DeLallo Fine Chopped Garlic in Water
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons DeLallo Extra Virgin Olive Oil
4 ounces pancetta, diced
2 tablespoons butter
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 small fennel bulb, thinly sliced, plus 1 tablespoon chopped fronds
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 cups vegetable stock
1 (14-ounce) can DeLallo Imported Cannellini Beans, drained and rinsed
Toasted bread, optional

Directions

Combine lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Add shrimp and toss to combine.
In a deep skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the pancetta. Cook until crisp, about 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
Add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the shrimp. Cook until pink, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer shrimp to plate.
Add onion, fennel and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Cook over medium heat until onions and fennel are soft and translucent, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the vegetable broth and the beans. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes. Stir in the pancetta, shrimp and any juices that have accumulated on the plates.
Garnish with fennel fronds and serve with crusty bread.
