Quantity Ingredient
½ cup Dried Great Northern beans
5 cups Water; (or more)
1 Onion slice; (1-inch-thick)
1 Celery stalk with leaves
2 Garlic cloves; crushed
1 Bay leaf
8 ounces Uncooked large shrimp in shells
1 slice Bacon
1 cup Chopped onion

Directions

Place beans in medium bowl. Pour enough cold water over to cover by 3 inches and let stand overnight. Drain.

Add beans to shrimp cooking liquid. Cover and simmer until beans are tender and liquid is reduced to ½ cup, adding more water if necessary, about 40 minutes. Discard bay leaf and celery. (Shrimp and beans can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately and chill.) Cook bacon in large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes.

Drain bacon on paper towels. Cut into small pieces. Discard all but 1 teaspoon drippings in skillet. Add chopped onion; saute over medium-low heat until golden, about 10 minutes. Add corn and beans with their cooking liquid; simmer until corn is tender, about 8 minutes. Add shrimp and bacon; stir until heated through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Sprinkle with chives.
