greens, beans, and shrimp | things i made today

anyways, this meal was inspired mainly by the beautiful rainbow chard at the grocery store this weekend. then add the beans, and the shrimp, and you’ve got something worth eating in 55 degrees in january.

Total time: 
Serves: 4
 
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  2. Heat remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add beans, cumin, and paprika and stir. Turn heat up high, then cook beans without stirring so they char a little (but do not burn) on one side, about 5 minutes. Stir in shrimp and cook until pink.

  4. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

    I want to invite myself over for dinner. I’m thinking I need to do something to chronicle my move. Thoughts?
