Ingredients
- 1 (12 ounce) package trimmed haricot verts or thin green beans
- 1 (9.3 ounce) package peeled hard-boiled eggs
- ½ cup olive tapenade
- 1 (10 ounce) basket cherry tomatoes
- 1 (16 ounce) package frozen peeled and deveined cooked large shrimp
- 1 small lemon, cut into wedges (Optional)
Directions
step 1：Microwave haricots verts (or other green beans) according to package instructions (this will take 2 to 4 minutes); set aside to cool.
step 2：Cut eggs in half; set aside.
step 3：Measure 2 tablespoons tapenade into each of 4 small lidded containers and refrigerate.
step 4：Divide the beans among 4 single-serving lidded containers with lids. Top each with 3 egg halves and one-fourth of the cherry tomatoes. Seal the containers and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
step 5：In the morning before taking your lunch to go, transfer one-fourth of the shrimp (about 1 cup) to a colander and run under cool water until thawed, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the thawed shrimp to one meal-prep container. Add a lemon wedge to the container, if desired. Squeeze the lemon over the bowl, if using, and top with tapenade just before serving.
