I am a big fan of a one pot meal. Especially one that comes together as quickly as this one does. Plus, it’s a dish basically made out of some of my favorite ingredients, shrimp, white beans and who could forget feta cheese? Like most “diet” recipes I doubled the amount of cheese the original recipe called for. Life is too short to skimp on the feta. If you are looking for a quick and delicious week night dinner (or lunch for that matter), look no further! We ate this as is one night and the next night served it over brown rice. I actually preferred it without the rice but try for yourself and see what you like. This would be perfect with a nice side salad! Oh and hey, it’s under 500 calories a serving, even with more cheese. Woohoo!

Enjoy!
