My grandmother was from Italy and she used to make this dish every summer. Always looking for the freshest ingredients. Mmm...good memories... Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs fava beans, shelled |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup shallot, minced |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1 1/2 lbs large shrimp, shelled and deveined |
4 tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped |
1/2 tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped |
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped |
1/4 cup white wine |
4 artichoke bottoms, cooked and chopped |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste) |
1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper (or to taste) |
Directions:
1. Blanch fava beans in boiling water for 2 minutes. Transfer to ice water to cool, then peel (skin should slip of easily).
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add shallots and garlic and sauté until softened.
3. Add prawns, tomatoes, tarragon, parsley and wine. Cook until prawns turn pink, about 5 minutes.
4. Add artichokes and fava beans during the last 2 minutes to heat through.
5. Season with lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve with steamed basmati rice or pasta.
