Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Add the bay leaves, zest and 3 tablespoons of sea salt.
Add the shrimp and cook until they start to curl, about 2 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a bowl to cool.
Cut the shrimp in half lengthwise and return to the bowl.
Bring the water back to a boil and add the green beans. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
Drain the beans and refresh them under cold water. Discard the bay leaves and lemon zest. Pat the beans dry and add them to the shrimp.
In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil with the lemon juice, parsley, marjoram, 3/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the shrimp and green beans and toss well to coat.
Transfer the salad to a large platter and serve.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc
Shrimp works really well with Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. The Mark West Pinot Grigio with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.
