Instructions

If your shrimp is frozen, thaw before beginning. I chose frozen, peeled, tail off shrimp.
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet or sauté pan and add grated parsnip, thinly sliced celery, and finely julienned onion. Cook until vegetables are soft and onions are glossy, but not browning.
Add salted butter and minced garlic
Once the butter is melted, add the thawed shrimp.
Cook shrimp until pink and opaque, about 2 minutes total, flipping them in the skillet with tongs or a fork as needed so you don’t see any more undercooked gray spots. Be careful to not overcook them.
Remove shrimp and set aside. Then, add the chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, and rinsed beans.
Simmer until liquid reduces a little bit, by ¼ to ⅓.
Then, add shrimp back to the skillet with the grated Parmesan and lemon zest. Stir to combine and let simmer for 1-2 minutes. I love to serve this luxurious shrimp and white bean stew with grilled bread.

Notes

* I used canned butter beans, but any variety of white bean will do in this recipe.
**I used Better Than Bouillon to be more budget-friendly.
***Apple Cider Vinegar reigns supreme as my secret weapon when it comes to soups. If you don’t have any ACV on hand, you can substitute white vinegar or rice vinegar, or skip it altogether. I love the brightness and tang that just a splash of vinegar brings to a rich and luxurious soup.
Make sure whatever skillet or sauté pan you use has some depth to it. Alternatively, a stew pot would also work.
