Garlic and Lime Shrimp and Beans


3/4 pound of shrimp 
juice from 1 lime
olive oil, salt, and pepper
1 teaspoon paprika 
6 garlic cloves, crushed
1 pint of cherry tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 can of cannelloni beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup chicken stock, low sodium

Mix 1/3 of the garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lime juice, paprika, and shrimp in a bowl.  Cover and put in the refrigerator to marinate for 1 hour.  While your shrimp are marinating, prepare the rest of the ingredients.  

When the shrimp are done marinating, broil them for a few minutes until they are cooked through.  Remove from oven and put aside.  Cook the remaining garlic in olive oil until fragrant (a couple of minutes).  Add the tomatoes and simmer until they pop.  (You may help this along by crushing them with the back of a wooden spoon.)  Add tomato paste, crushed red pepper, and chicken stock and bring almost to a boil.  Reduce to a simmer, add the beans, and cook until thickened.   Prepare rice.  Plate rice, pour sauce over the rice, and put shrimp on top.

Enjoy!
