Zest the lemon and add to a mixing bowl along with the peeled and deveined shrimp. Add the minced garlic and seasoning along with 1/2 tbsp of olive oil. Toss to combine, then set aside while you prepare the vegetables.
Wash and dry the greens, then remove the stems. Roughly chop and set aside.
Heat the remaining olive oil (1/2 tbsp) in a large skillet over medium heat. Once heated, sear the shrimp for 90 seconds on each side, or until opaque and browned. Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan. Once seared on both sides, transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate or bowl.
In the same skillet, add the tomatoes. Cook until blistered, about 2-3 minutes, then add the chopped greens. As the greens wilt, add the chicken broth to deglaze the bottom of the skillet.
Once the greens have cooked down (about 4-5 minutes), add the cooked shrimp, drained white beans, and red pepper flakes. Gently stir to combine.
Once the beans are heated through, about 1-2 minutes, remove from heat. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice from the zested lemon, then serve with your choice of sides (such as toasted or crusty bread).

If cooking with frozen shrimp, thaw prior to cooking or adjust prep time as needed.
