Easy Substitutions

If you don't have fresh parsley, dried parsley can be used, but add it with the tomatoes to allow it to rehydrate. Canned cannellini beans can be substituted for chickpeas. If fresh shrimp is unavailable, frozen shrimp works well; just ensure it's fully thawed and patted dry before cooking.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over medium-low heat or in the microwave until warmed through.
