This unusual pairing of ingredients is a surprisingly tasty meal. The rich kidney beans are seasoned with fresh jalapeno, cumin and oregano. We use the entire can with juices to create a luscious sauce for the shrimp. Using the broiler to cook the shrimp is fast and preserves the lime juice that coats the shrimp. Serve with a Mexican-inspired salad or over a bit of steamed rice for a heartier dish. Ready in only 30 minutes, this is a fast weeknight option. Try adding some roasted bell pepper strips or a handful of baby spinach to each bowl to increase the vegetable presence.
