   1                    Tomato -- core/peel/chop
                        Fine
   1       lb           Medium Shrimp -- peeled &
                        Deveined

  * such as cannellini, Great Northern or navy beans
  
  Note:  The beans in this recipe will need to be soaked
  overnight
  
  Put the beans in a non aluminum container and cover
  with 5 inches of codl water.  Soak overnight and then
  drain well.  Place them with all other ingredients
  except the salt (see note) and shrimp, in a pot that
  will comfortably hold them all.
  
  Pour enough cold water over the ingredients to cover
  them by about 3 inches.
  Cook gently at a simmer for about 1 hour or more.  The
  liquid in the beans should be mostly absorbed by the
  time they finish cooking and the beans shoul dbe very
  moist and succulent.  Do not let them go dry.  Add the
  salt to taste.  Serve the beans hot, drizzled with
  olive oil; they are equally good at room temperature.
  
  Sautee the shrimp in the olive oil with a pinch of
  salt and pepper for about
  2 minutes, stirring often.  Do not overcook.  Serve
  the shrimp with warm beans or slightly chilled with
  room temperature beans.
  
  Note:  Adding salt to beans before they are fully
  cooked toughens them.
  
  Serves 6 to 8.
  
  NOTES:
  The beans are delicious without shrimp.  They make a
  tasty accompaniment to roast or grilled meat, fowl or
  fish.  If you increase the amount of cooking water,
  you an have a delectable baean soup.
