White Beans and Roasted Shrimp Salad with Cherry Tomato Vinaigrette

Ingredients

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

4 slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2 inch pieces

Extra-virgin olive oil

Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

8 fresh sage leaves

1 pint mixed red and yellow cherry or grape tomatoes

1 can (14 oz) cannellini beans, drained

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 bunch watercress, stems trimmed just above the rubber band (I find watercress too spicy so I prefer baby spinach and arugula)

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 350. Arrange 2 racks in the oven.

2

Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on half of a large baking sheet and put the bacon pieces on the other half.

3

Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and drizzle with some olive oil. Scatter the sage leaves.

4

At the same time, on a second baking sheet, drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss.

5

Place both sheets in the oven.

6

Roast the tomatoes until they burst, about 10 minutes.

7

Roast the shrimp tray for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through, the bacon is crisp and browned, and the fat has been rendered.

8

Scrape the tomatoes, shrimp, bacon, and any juices into a large bowl.

9

Add the beans, vinegar, and some olive oil.

10

Toss with the greens.
