Steps:

• If using dried beans: Soak beans in water overnight and drain thoroughly. Put beans, garlic, carrot, bay leaf, and 2 cups water in a large saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Add salt, reduce heat to low and simmer until beans are tender, about 1 hour. Strain and reserve beans, discarding garlic, carrot, and bay leaf. Let beans cool to room temperature. If using canned beans, rinse and drain thoroughly. Season shrimp on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add shrimp and sauté, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are no longer translucent, about 3 minutes. (If using frozen shrimp, thaw before cooking.) Transfer shrimp to a large mixing bowl and add celery, onion, capers, parsley, chives, remaining 1 tbsp oil, and beans. Toss well; season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide lettuce among 4 plates and arrange 1 cup shrimp mixture on top of each mound of lettuce.

Steps:

• Heat a cast-iron skillet for a few minutes until hot, then add the bacon and sauté until crisp, stirring occasionally. Strain the bacon and reserve 2 Tbsps. of the grease in the pan to cook the fennel (save the additional grease for another use). Place the strained bacon into a medium bowl.
• Add the sliced fennel to the pan and sauté until it just starts to brown, 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the fennel and garlic from the heat, and add to the bacon.
• Gently stir the beans into the fennel and bacon mixture, then stir in the minced fennel fronds, lemon juice and zest, cumin and olive oil. Season with a couple dashes of Tabasco and one-fourth teaspoons salt and one-eighth teaspoons pepper, or to taste. Serve immediately or within a couple of hours.
