Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 4 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
• 5 garlic cloves, minced (divided)
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika (divided)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 shallot, chopped fine
• 1 bay leaf 
• crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes (do not drain)
• 2 cans (15 ounces each) white beans, rinsed and drained
• 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth 
• chopped flat-leaf parsley or fresh basil, for garnish

Here's how to make it: 

1. Put the cleaned shrimp into a bowl with half the garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, the oregano, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and salt and pepper, to taste. Toss to coat. 
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, to taste, and bay leaf. Cook, stirring, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes. Add the white wine and cook, stirring up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan, for about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, beans, broth and remaining paprika. Bring to a gentle boil and cook until thickened, about 5 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. 
3. Preheat the broiler. Put the shrimp over the top of the bean mixture in a single layer. Broil until shrimp are cooked through, about 4 minutes (this will vary depending on size of shrimp). Remove the pan from the oven and stir. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or basil. 

Note: If you wanted to skip using the broiler, add the shrimp during the last few minutes of cooking the sauce.
