Spiced Shrimp & White Beans

Here’s a rewritten version of the content with clear and concise language:

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: Pat dry 1 lb. of large, peeled, and deveined shrimp with paper towels. Season with 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt and a large pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil. Add 1 large quartered and thinly sliced shallot, 5 finely chopped garlic cloves, and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt. Cook, stirring often, until the shallots are softened and lightly golden, about 5–7 minutes.
  3. Toast Spices: Stir in 1 Tbsp. ground coriander, 1 Tbsp. ground cumin, 1 Tbsp. smoked paprika, 1 tsp. sugar, ½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes, and ¼ cup water. Cook until the water evaporates and the spices are fragrant, approximately 2 minutes. Add ¼ cup double-concentrated tomato paste and ¼ cup water. Cook, stirring often, until the tomato paste darkens and oil begins to separate, about 6–8 minutes.
  4. Simmer Beans: Add one 15.5-oz. can of rinsed white beans (such as cannellini) and 1 cup water. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces by half and oil pools on the surface, about 6–8 minutes. Adjust seasoning with more salt if needed.
  5. Cook Shrimp and Serve: Add the reserved shrimp to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and garnish with coarsely chopped mint and dill. Serve with warm flatbread.

This version preserves the detailed instructions while making the language more straightforward and easy to follow.
