Cafe Reconcile's White Beans & Shrimp Recipe

Today's Times-Picayune had a story and a recipe for Cafe Reconcile's White Beans and Shrimp dish. (Cafe Reconcile -- click here for their website -- is a great story in itself. Click on their link and read up on this very unusual and wonderful place.)

Now, I'm not normally a big fan of white beans, but I've sampled this dish on more than one occasion and it is fantastic.

My wife took a look at the recipe and said: "It calls for lots of garlic and 4 cups of heavy cream. 4 CUPS!!! No wonder you like it! Anything with that much heavy cream is going to taste great to you!"

Well, she may be right. But one can splurge every so often, don't you think? Give it a try. I promise you won't be disappointed.
