Ingredients

5 Tbsp.
olive oil, divided
6
cloves garlic, thinly sliced, divided
3
sprigs fresh thyme
1
lemon
1 cup
canned white beans, rinsed
Kosher salt and pepper
1 lb.
large and deveined shrimp, tails removed, butterflied
1/2 tsp.
red pepper flakes
1
bay leaf
1/4 cup
dry sherry
2 cups
baby spinach, roughly chopped
2 Tbsp.
chopped parsley
4
slices bread, well toasted

Directions

1. Step 1In small skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil, half of garlic, and 2 sprigs thyme on medium until garlic begins to sizzle, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and discard thyme, then grate in 1 teaspoon lemon zest and squeeze in 1 tablespoon juice. Transfer to mini food processor along with beans and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper and puree until smooth, about 30 seconds.
2. Step 2Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in large skillet on medium-low. Add remaining garlic and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, 4 minutes. Add shrimp, red pepper flakes, bay leaf, and remaining thyme. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, increase heat to medium-high, and cook, tossing often, 1 minute.
3. Step 3Add sherry, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until shrimp are just opaque throughout, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat, discard bay leaf, and toss with spinach and parsley. Spread bean mixture on toast and top with shrimp and spinach, spooning any pan juices over top.

GH Test Kitchen Tip: Try the sautéed shrimp mixture (with double the garlic and spinach) tossed with pasta. Stir in pasta cooking liquid as needed.
