Simmer Paprika Shrimp and White Bean Tomato Stew

This skillet stew combines shrimp, white beans, tomatoes, spinach, garlic, and smoked paprika in a dinner that makes about four bowls. Bread, rice, potatoes, or another side can be added according to appetite. The high-protein theme reflects the seafood and beans; it does not establish a personal protein target or a universal portion size. Gather one pound peeled and deveined raw shrimp, two drained and rinsed fifteen-ounce cans white beans, one twenty-eight-ounce can crushed or diced tomatoes, four packed cups spinach, three minced garlic cloves, one tablespoon olive oil, one teaspoon smoked paprika, one-half teaspoon dried oregano, black pepper, and a small pinch of salt. Optional finishes include parsley, lemon, chili, or a spoonful of yogurt. Pat the shrimp dry and keep it refrigerated while preparing the base. Warm the oil in a wide skillet or shallow pot over medium heat. Add garlic and cook briefly until fragrant without browning it deeply. Stir in tomatoes, beans, smoked paprika, oregano, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for eight to twelve minutes so the flavors combine and the sauce thickens slightly. Add the raw shrimp in a single layer where possible. Simmer gently, turning once, until the flesh is opaque and the shrimp are safely cooked, usually three to six minutes depending on size and pan temperature. Avoid prolonged cooking, which can make shrimp firm and dry. Fold in spinach until wilted. Taste before adding salt because canned ingredients can vary in sodium. Divide into bowls and add any chosen finish. Serve with a carbohydrate-rich side, vegetables, or fruit when useful for a complete meal. Shellfish is a major allergen, and cross-contact must be prevented. A fish-free version can use another tested cooked protein, but timing will change. People who are pregnant, immunocompromised, older, or serving young children should follow appropriate seafood safety guidance. Cool leftovers promptly in shallow covered containers and refrigerate for no more than three to four days. Reheat until steaming, understanding that shrimp may become firmer. Do not leave seafood at room temperature for extended periods. Keep raw shrimp and its juices away from ready-to-eat foods, wash hands and utensils, and sanitize preparation surfaces.
