Ingredients
Scale
- 1 14 oz. can petite diced tomatoes, drained
- 2 T olive oil
- 1 large green bell pepper, diced in 1/2 inch pieces
- 1/2 large onion, diced in 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 tsp. finely minced garlic
- 1 tsp. Italian Herb Blend
- 1/2 cup water with one cube Knorr Shrimp Bouillon
- to taste salt and fresh-ground black pepper
- 1 lb. raw jumbo shrimp, thawed, shelled, and deveined if needed
- 2 T capers
- 24 oz. spinach leaves
Instructions
- Thaw shrimp overnight in the fridge or thaw in a plastic bag in cool water in a pinch.
- Peel away shells and remove the vein that runs along the back if needed.
- Drain the tomatoes into a colander placed in the sink and let most of the juice drain off.
- Chop green pepper and onion, and get the garlic, capers, and Italian Herb Blend ready.
- Dissolve the Knorr Shrimp Bouillon cube in hot water, or if using chicken or fish stock, measure 1 cup and simmer over medium heat until reduced to 1/2 cup.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan, add the green bell pepper and onion, and sauté over medium-high heat until slightly browned, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and Italian Herb Blend and cook 1-2 minutes more.
- Add the drained tomatoes and 1/2 cup shrimp bouillon mixture and simmer over low heat until the flavors concentrate a little, about 10 minutes.
- While this simmers, wash the spinach if needed.
- Heat the second tablespoon of oil in another large frying pan, add the spinach all at once, and use a large turner to turn until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- After the mixture has cooked about 10 minutes, add the shrimp and capers and cook until the shrimp is pink and firm, about 3-4 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
- Divide the wilted spinach into four bowls and top each with 1/4 of the shrimp mixture.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- Italian Herb Blend can be adjusted to taste.
- Make sure not to overcook the shrimp to keep them tender.
- This dish can be served with pasta or rice if desired.
