Main | 15 minutes | Serves 2

Dinner panic at 7 PM? Garlic-Butter Green Bean & Shrimp Skillet is your 15-minute rescue. Cabera frozen whole green beans snap to life in a sizzling garlic-butter bath, then cozy up with juicy shrimp for a meal that tastes like a seaside bistro but uses one pan. No defrosting, no drama—just flavor.

Cabera green beans are frozen at peak snap, so they sauté straight from the freezer into tender-crisp perfection. Butter + garlic = instant sauce, shrimp cook in 3 minutes flat. Weeknight win, date-night flex, cleanup breeze.

Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 300 g Cabera Frozen Whole Green Beans – Straight from freezer; no trimming.

• 200 g Raw Shrimp – Peeled, deveined; tail-on for fancy, off for easy eating.

• 30 g Butter – Salted or unsalted; divided.

• 15 ml Olive Oil – Prevents butter burning.

• 3 Garlic Cloves – Minced; or 1 tsp powder in a pinch.

• Salt & Black Pepper – Flaky salt + fresh cracks to finish.

• Lemon Wedge – For serving (optional but chef’s kiss).

Optional glow-up: Red chili flakes, parsley, or a Parmesan shower.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Sauté Beans (The 8-Minute Base)

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add 15 ml olive oil + 15 g butter (half).

2. Toss in 300 g frozen Cabera green beans. No thaw—stir 1 minute until ice melts, then sauté 7–8 minutes, stirring occasionally. They’ll blister, turn bright, and stay snappy.

Golden rule: Don’t crowd—single layer = crisp, not steam.

Step 2: Shrimp & Garlic Finale (The 3-Minute Flash)

1. Push beans to the side. Add remaining 15 g butter + minced garlic. Sizzle 30 seconds.

2. Add 200 g shrimp in one layer. Cook 1.5 minutes per side—pink, curled, opaque.

3. Toss everything together. Season with salt, pepper, and a chili pinch if using.

Shrimp timing: Overcook = rubber. 3 minutes total is perfect.

Serve It Up: One Pan, Zero Stress

Slide onto plates or eat straight from the skillet (romantic or rustic—your call). Squeeze lemon over for brightness. Pair with crusty bread to mop garlic-butter pools or cauliflower rice for low-carb.

Total time? 15 minutes. Total dishes? One skillet, two forks, pure joy.

Final Thoughts: Weeknights Deserve This

Garlic-Butter Green Bean & Shrimp Skillet proves fast can be fabulous. Cabera beans cut prep to nothing, shrimp bring the party, butter seals the deal. Make it your Monday rotation or surprise someone on Friday.

Stove too busy? Air-fry beans 10 min at 190°C, then finish shrimp in skillet. Vegan? Swap shrimp for chickpeas, butter for plant-based.

Now grab a fork and let the sizzle sing.

Why Cabera Green Beans Are Your 60-Second Sidekick

Fresh beans need trimming and blanching; Cabera whole beans are pre-trimmed, pre-washed, and ready in 60 seconds of heat. They keep vibrant color and bite, soaking up garlic-butter like tiny flavor sponges. Add shrimp for protein, and you’ve got a complete meal faster than takeout arrives.
