This super speedy Spanish-inspired dinner is a one-pan wonder and ready to serve in under 30 minutes. A quick saute of shrimp then the beans go in and the flavors merry beautifully. The surprise addition of orange marmalade adds a touch of bitter and sweet zing against the heat of the jalapeno which can vary from very hot to surprisingly mild. Take a little taste of the pepper after you mince it. If it has a nice bite, use half, as directed in the recipe. If it seems weak, use the whole pepper. Serve these shrimp and beans with some steamed rice and a wedge of lime.
