Directions

  1. Toss the shrimp with the paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and black pepper; set aside.
  2. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or frying pan.
  3. When hot, add 3 tablespoons olive oil and the leeks; sprinkle them with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt to sweat them.
  4. Cook over low heat until they soften.
  5. Once tender, push them to the sides, add the last tablespoon of oil to the center of the pan, then add shrimp in one layer to sear.
  6. When the undersides turn opaque, after 2-3 minutes, use tongs to flip them and cook 2 more minutes.
  7. Deglaze the pan with the wine or stock.
  8. Add the beans, lemon juice and zest, and red pepper flakes, if using; stir well.
  9. Add the butter and stir it into the sauce as it melts.
  10. Top with the chives and serve.
