Shrimp & Bean Cocktail

This is a healthy way to delight your guests or simply enjoy your afternoon / evening with your family.

It's simple and it does not take long to make.

True, it may not take long to make, yet I personaly always like to marinade my shrimps, I just think they get a much better taste, but if you are in a rush you can skip the marinade and save yourselve this time (anytime from 20 minutes to 40 minutes).
