Grilled Shrimp and Gigandes Beans
Gigandes beans, named for their massive size, are a knockout ingredient in salads or pastas. Find them pre-cooked and marinated in the canned foods aisle or at the prepared foods bar at your grocery store. Plump and creamy, they’re marinated in a tangy vinaigrette that pairs deliciously with grilled shrimp.
